SCSI Tools 1.0 of 08/08/88 -------------------------- Revision History ---------------- 1.0 Revved contribution box to UNICEF. 1.0B7 file name changed to 'SCSI' per Darin Adler. Revved address. 1.0B6 will not go through the several second long SCSI ID check if the option key is held down. This applies to both when the cdev is first selected and when the mount button is hit. This is useful for the times when you only want to mount volumes quickly. Also renamed the file simply to 'SCSI' as Darin suggested. 1.0B5 can now mount drives even if the drive was power-up or connected after the Mac has booted. General Info ------------ SCSI Tools is a small Control Panel Device (cdev to us programmers) that has two functions. One, it provides a status display of your SCSI bus with lights corresponding to the 8 (0-7) id's. Note the Mac is always assigned number 7 so it's always on. Thanks to Steve Brecher for hints on implementing this function. The second function is that it can mount SCSI devices (usually hard disks) with the mount button (buttons have drop shadows). Handy when a hard disk has just been turned on or was dragged to the trash. It will mount any disk that has been dragged to the trash, even non-SCSI disks. This only works on local volumes, so AppleShare volumes will not be mounted after being dragged to the trash. SCSI Tools is useful if you are constantly mucking around with your SCSI setup. To use it you need to be using System 4.0 or higher. To install SCSI Tools, just drag its icon (SCSI) into your System Folder and pull down the Control Panel desk accessory. SCSI Tools is free for non-commercial distribution. Please include this text file when you give a copy of SCSI Tools to someone or upload it to a BBS. Enjoy, Paul Mercer
