I've now convinced myself I can't find SCSI Hacker anywhere. (There is a copy on husc6, but unbinscii gives a CRC error -- says file is damaged.) I've looked there, wuarchive, plains, umich, and caltech. I did find Tim Grams HDFormat, but that doesn't seem to work with the new DMA card. No matter whether I have DMA on or off, TWGS fast or slow, it gives me a SCSI 21 error. (The Apple utility that came with the card dos work, although I haven't the slighest idea what interleave it uses. It did double the linear read speed from what it came with; I suspect there is still more to gain since it still doesn't matter whether DMA is on or off. TMPLee@dockmaster.ncsc.mil

If you don't mind paying long distance... You can call Pro-GSPlus.
the number is (615) 875-4607. The is the bulletin board that accompanies
the magazine + disk, "GS+". This number is local to Chattanooga, TN.
They also have DiskTimer (weren't you the one looking for that too?).garym@pro-fishunt.cts.com (Gary McClain) (08/14/90)

On my BBS I have Vanilla Hard Drive. Although I've not tried it I've been told
it does work and is better than HDFormat and others. I do NOT know if it works
with the New SCSI DMA card. If anyone can answer these questions we'll figure
out how to get a copy to you.
