Message-ID: <8794@dartvax.Dartmouth.EDU> Date: 5 Jun 88 22:34:19 GMT Sender: news@dartvax.Dartmouth.EDU Reply-To: earleh@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Earle R. Horton) Organization: Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH Lines: 24 I got the SCSI Accelerator INIT from comp.binaries.mac, and since I just bought a Nova 30, and hadn't even started loading it yet, it seemed like a good thing to try out. Results: I disassembled the INIT first, and the code is harmless, extremely harmless. (Don't believe me, back up your stuff first.) I installed it on the Nova, and it does seem to work a bit faster. The main problem is that I have no idea how to reformat the Nova for 1-to-1 interleave, and the manual gives no hints on that or even what the present interleave is. Since the Nova comes with its own formatter, I guess I have to write to MicroTech to find out. (The best results are obtained with SCSI Accelerator when a 1-to-1 interleave is used.) Summary: Looks like a good thing to have in your system folder for Mac Plus users, and it's not even real big. Disclaimer: I don't even know the guy who wrote it. ********************************************************************* *Earle R.
