- Short: The best validator for FFS (v2.5)
- Author: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski (zeeball@interia.pl)
- Uploader: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski (zeeball@interia.pl)
- Version: 2.5 (27.01.2002)
- Type: disk/cache
- Requires: Amiga with OS 2.04+
- Name: TurboVal
- Replaces: disk/cache/TurboVal.lha
-
- util/boot/TurboVal.lha
-
- STATUS: FreeWare
-
- Short doc:
-
- This little util should be used on startup time. It will wait
- until all devices are validated by letting only one device for
- validation at the same time. Therefore it prevents the noise and
- slowdown. If validation error appears then filerequester (ASL)
- will be opened to choose Your salvage program (for instance
- AmiBackTools). Of course it will be executed, so you can repair
- the partition. There is one exception - if bug requester appears
- before VAL is executed then this feature fails and user has to
- reboot and boot without startup-sequence to run his salvager by
- hand... :-(
-
- Please remember that this program has no use when you have working
- reset handler logic (lucky - use DiskSafe.lha instead then). Also
- users of non-validating filesystems shouldn't be so silly to install
- this tool as it is useless in their case.
-
- This program is also useless against incredible and extremely
- seldom bugs like damaged filesystem, damaged driveinit code and
- other almost impossible things :-(

- changes since 2.4:
-
- - added German text to installer script (Thanks to Axel Greve)
- - small fixes alas whole code is very shitty, but don't worry as
- I am using it without problems from first versions :)
