Apple HD SC Setup, 3rd-Party Drives, & SCSI Manager 4.3 (1/95)


Does Apple HD SC Setup format third party drives to take advantage of SCSI Manager 4.3?

Apple does not distribute a SCSI formatter that supports both SCSI Manager 4.3 and third party drives. Apple HD SC Setup 7.2.2 that ships with System Update 2.0.1 does not support third party drives, and although Apple HD SC Setup 3.0.1 shipped with A/UX supports third party drives, it doesn't support the SCSI Manager 4.3.

As of October, 1993 there are two third party SCSI drive formatters that support SCSI Manager 4.3. To locate a vendor's address and phone number, use the vendor name as a search string.

* MicroNet Technology's SCSI utility software v6.0 which is compatible
with their drives.

* CharisMac Engineering's Anubis, v 2.5 which is a universal formatter.

Other vendors should have "SCSI Manager 4.3-savvy" drivers soon.
