- 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.
