- 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.
