I'm using the CLtd SCSIdos 3.x on non-Kronos controllers on both an A1000 and an A500. It really wasn't worth upgrading the A1000 to autoboot since it runs the BBS and doesn't get booted that often --- maybe once a month if that often. The A500 system can boot from the floppy and still have to wait on the drive to spin up if I power the system up, so I'd only gain anything on warm boots. Didn't seem like it was worth the money to upgrade both the controller and the the KS. I'm not sure about the SCSIdos handling the tape unit, but I du remember that there are mountlist (and devconfig?) list for lots of weird and wonderful things that you could add to a SCSI bus. Maybe if CLtd had concentrated on the more mundane disk drives they'd still be around. Anyway, feel free to call the BBS and pick up a copy of the software. There's no charge for use of the system, though you will probably have to call back after I verify your account. New users have access to DL, but are limited to 15 minutes. Validation is automatic and usually within 24 hours, assuming you answer the questions and give a real name rather than a handle. --- Cal ____ HOBBIT / / / 340 Meg Online HOLE / / / 12/24/9600HST bps AMIGA: ____ / / / Exclusively Amiga \ \ \/ / / "Best Amiga BBS in FL" The computer for the BEST of us! \ \ \/ / July, 1989 Final List(tm) \_\_\/ A comfortable place to meet -------------------------------------- Cal Jones, Sysop. 904-243-6219 24Hrs
