VBRANDT@DBNUAMA1.BITNET (11/30/89)
Hello all,
many thanks to all the kind people who offered to send me the latest
version of the ICD host adapter software, and to Dennis Pixton@bingvaxa who
did mail it to me at my request. I can't wait to try out the driver on my
disk next weekend. (Must have been the dramatic music ;-) :-)
BUT: The included ICDFMT.DAT file says Version 3.00 and lists only "d" type
entries, ie. only disk drives, no more controllers, such as for my Maxtor.
Is this correct?
If not, can someone please send me a copy of the current file?
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this mystery (or point out my
mistake :-).
This is how the file looks:

The following is from ICD's READ.ME file - In brief, here are a few things you SHOULD know about this software: o This current release includes full support for Omti 3520/3527(a) SCSI controllers and drives connected to them, most embedded SCSI drives, and support for Adaptec 4000(a)/4070 SCSI controllers (only high level defect mapping is supported with Adaptecs). SASI controllers are no longer supported. Use our older version software for use with SASI or else purchase a new Omti controller. It will be much faster than SASI. Sounds like you can't use ICDs V4 software with anything but OMTI, ADAPTEC, and embedded SCSI drives. --- Ray Wallace (INTERNET,UUCP) wallace@oldtmr.enet.dec.com (UUCP) ...!decwrl!oldtmr.enet!wallace (INTERNET) wallace%oldtmr.enet@decwrl.dec.com ---
