[comp.sys.atari.st] ICD HOST ADAPTER INFO AND

robert.rasmussen@canremote.uucp (ROBERT RASMUSSEN) (05/14/89)

I think that ICD has some later ahndlers that only work with their
specific interface....it checks for the ICD host adapter and if its not
ICD it won't run.
In past I have experimented with ICD software and found that it works
quite well, except it had no provision for mapping out bad sectors
reliably! 
I find Supra utilities to be much more reliable....also Atari has just
released their HDX 3.00 and this is a good package with a new HD handler
that can handle unlimited partitions and also handle partitions larger
then 32MB from within GEM.
I tested the software on the Atari host adapter and on a Supra host
adapter with great results!
Only problem is that you got to know your HD configurations and if you
are using SCSI controllers with more then 1 drive , the Atari handler
won't recognise it!
Hopefully Atari will fix this handler to access LUN beyond 0 simmilar to
all other HD handlers.
