Apple RAID 1.5 ReadMe
- The current list of disk drives qualified for use with Apple RAID is available from <
http://www.info.apple.com>.
- When non-Apple RAID volumes which have identical creation dates are present on the desktop or displayed in Apple RAID's volume list, there may be some confusion of names or icons. Once any such volume has been taken over by Apple RAID those problems will cease in Apple RAID because Apple RAID does not distinguish its own volumes by creation date.
- The Apple RAID driver which is installed on NuBus PowerPCs is an emulated driver. This driver does not support volumes larger than 4GB. If you create an Apple RAID volume greater than 4GB on a PCI PowerPC machine and move the drive or drives with that volume to a NuBus PowerPC, the Apple RAID driver on the NuBus machine will refuse to mount the volume.
- While multiple SCSI LUN's attached to PCI SCSI cards are supported, use of multiple LUN's on the internal bus or buses is not supported.
- If no volumes are present on any drive with the Apple RAID driver, the Macintosh ROM will not load the Apple RAID driver at startup. This is true for any driver, not just Apple RAID. When Apple RAID is launched and it detects that the driver is not installed, before it starts the initial SCSI scan it will load the Apple RAID driver and display the message, "Loading Driver," before displaying "Scanning SCSI Buses."
- The application will attempt to put custom color icons on a drive's volumes when you use the "Disk/Install Driver" command. However the custom icons can only be put on mounted volumes. If you use the "Disk/Install Driver" command on a drive with unmounted volumes, the volume's icon will default to a black and white icon if no custom color icon is already in use.
