FWB Hard Disk Toolkit. They're out of business but a friend dropped by with an updated version 4.5 to my older version that was given him by a dealer who declared it abandonware. I recently found FWB's CD-ROM toolkit and I think it came from a continuing FWB site for free. Apple's Disk Utility originally refused to work with disks that were not sold by Apple. A fix for that has been around. You should be able to find a fixed version with a search. SCSI probe, Symantic I think, has long been free and should be easy to find. All of those talk to the hardware. Norton talks only to mounted hardware. As others have said you do need to get the SCSI ID's properly set before anything will talk to them. -- --> A fair tax is one that you pay but I don't <-- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
