Does this apply to all StarDrives (I have a 1000 StarBoard/StarDrive) or just the 500 version or does this depend on the version of the StarDrive.device you have? Are programming docs available from Microbotics which might explain how to access the StarDrive.device?

OOPS! Since I started this, it's my fault. StarDrive does not _yet_ support SCSIDirect commands. This capability is planned but not available yet. It is a change to the driver software and firmware. The hardware will support it, but it's not in the driver yet. I just talked to MicroBotics about it, and that's what they told me. I'm sorry if I caused consternation. I do some work for MicroBotics, and I'm kinda like their spokesman here on Usenet (and CompuServe). My information was faulty and I appologize. As soon as this capability exists, I will post a message here to that effect. Until then, please accept my abject appologies concerning this. I will now flog myself with 20 lbs. of wet linguini. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [- O] Rick Stevens, Technology Marketing Incorporated ?

I cannot seem to mount my hard drive using the Stardrive device (A1000) under 2.01. Am I missing something simple or do I need a driver upgrade. I have v. 1.12. My mountlist was modified to DosType=0x444F5301 and the disk partition was formatted for FFS under 1.3. I get no error message when I type mount DH1: but then I cannot access it with info or dir. When I try to mount DH1: again-- it says that its already mounted. Thanks for any help, Joanne .

Under 2.0, the FFS is in KS and not on disk. Be sure to change the
"l:FastFileSystem" entry to "FastFileSystem". I think there is one
other gotcha, but I can't remember what it is.
The version of the StarDrive is 1.13, but I'm not sure of this either.
Maybe these comments will jog someone else's memory.
