There has been some discussion of late about SCSI accelerator, which if I recall correctly is an INIT that speeds some of the Mac's ROM code, specifically improving some of the data fetching routines (?). However, I can't find a copy anywhere, is there some kind soul who could mail it to me (no ftp access stymies other approaches) ? John

My Mac IIcx seems to constantly be bogged down by my hard drive.

I am no longer sending out copies of my SCSI-Accellerator INIT. Within a week or two I hope to have finished the new version, which will also allow user control through a control panel device. That one will be posted as soon as possible. --dolf Dolf Starreveld Phone: +31 20 592 5056/5022 (FAX: 5155), TELEX: 10262 HEF NL EMAIL: dolf@fwi.uva.nl (dolf%fwi.uva.nl@hp4nl.nluug.nl) SNAIL: Dept. of Math. and Computing Science, University of Amsterdam, Kruislaan 409, NL-1098 SJ Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The author has indicated elsewhere on comp.sys.mac that he is a week or two away from releasing a new version, so this may change with that version. As I recall, the patching that SCSI Accelerator does has already been done in ROM or System Software on the SE and beyond. <chaz> -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chaz Larson - clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu "Hey, I'm no Jack Kennedy..." - Flaming Carrot ----------------------------------------------------------------------
