Anyone know of a diag util that can check SMART status of SCSI drives?
I found an incredible page on Sourceforge about this. SCSI specifics are
here:
<http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/smartmontools_scsi.html>
Backspace over the last part of the URL to see the whole home page of
the project. I have not had a chance to read everything on the site,
it's quite big, but it covers a ton of usful information about how hard
drives work. The tool itself has been ported to a wide range of o/s, but
unfortunately I don't see DOS on the list, may be possible to port it.
I think this kind of tool makes a good addition to any FreeDOS hardware
test CD - check the health and history of your hard drives before
installing stuff.
