- Howdy!
-
- This program seems to have more fans than I ever imagined. So, here is an
- 'official' release.
-
- Some remarks about it:
-
- This program was written as a 'mini-hack' at the german Amiga users meeting
- in Bielefeld 1992, sometime around friday night, as Froh moaned '...that he
- could not use Enforcer together with his stone-age-SCSI-controller, because
- Enforcer would register the controller-accesses to the hardware at 0xee0000
- as 'hits'....
-
- Reason for this: his controller bound no AutoConfig-Node into the
- ExpansionList, it just accesses its hardware.... :)
-
- What should we do? Well, what Enforcer needed to be happy, was just
- information, that it should ignore the 0xee0000 addresses. Normally, this is
- done with an auto-config node. So this program creates one.
-
- Doing this is so blatant, that I'm ashamed, that noone else had the same
- idea.
-
- The program was written in about two minutes and is written in DICE 2.06.39
- (reg).
-
- And then somebody put this one in a german mailbox net and it seems to work
- with at least the following harddisk-controllers:
-
- - c't omti-controller, if the controller is at 0xee0000 liegt (Rev. 2 PBC)
- (this is from a german computer magazine)
-
- - ALF - SCSI Controller (the *VERY* old version without autoconfig)
-
- - Evolution V 2.x controller
-
-
- Three more things:
-
-
- - the name was created by accident, OmtiFroh is *NOT* called 'OmtiFroh',
- because if makes the Controller (omti) happy (froh is german for 'happy') but
- because it was written for 'froh' (this is the IRC nick of Frohwalt Egerer
- (ftegerer@cip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de).
-
- - This is public domain. Use it or abuse it. If you're really really sure, that
- these few lines of C, which were written half asleep, are worth a reward, then
- I won't stop you from sending me one.
-
- I give absolutely no warranties for any damages resulting from using this program.
