Some one and a half year ago, somebody put on the net an INIT file that
was reported to improve SCSI disk performance considerably. However, that
file contained a huge bug. Shortly after that I put on the net a quick
hack that fixed that bug. Since system 6.0x came out, I noticed that the
init no longer installed the patches. The reason was that the init code checked
the piece of code it was going to patch for the occurrence of certain instructions
so that it could be sure that it was patching the right thing. After some hacking
I found out that the patches were still apllicable, but they had to be applied
at a different position in the SCSI manager code. Thus, I fixed the INIT to
check for both cases and handle them correclty.
In the process, I also added an icon to the init, which will only be shown when
the patches are really applied. I am sending out the archive below containing
several variants of the INIT (see the RED_ME file) and some documentation.
In the documentation it is explained how it works and for whom it will work.
