[comp.sys.mac] APPLE HD SC SETUP question

phil@vaxphw.enet.dec.com (Phil Hunt) (07/10/90)

Hi,
I am about to bring up A/UX V2.0 on a conner 105mb drive.  A while back someone
posted how to patch Apple HD SC Setup to allow non-apple drives to be
partitioned by the app.  I thought it was patching the code resource named
'%a5init' by finding the first drive in that code and patching a length of 0
for it allowing anything to 'Match'.  I tried that, but still get the
'Nosuitable SCSI device found'...Did I do something wrong? 

Failing this, does anything else allow A/UX setup besides HD SC Setup?

I have a stock answer for this question:
  Silverlining from LaCie
  19552 SW 90th, 
  Tualatin, OR, 97062; 
  1-800-999-0143

It formats A/UX drives, big drives, any drive.  It allows resizing of
partitions without destroying data!  All kinds of nifty things!

I think the procedure is to patch a length of zero before EVERY drive name
in order for HD SC Setup to recognize a non-Apple installed drive.

OnTrack Systems' HD software does A/UX 2.0.

Please send followups to comp.sys.mac.hardware
