It's with capital letters:

SCSI-Apollo.device

Hey, IT JUST WORKS!

Tried it, no more Apollo's SCSI device available! MakeCD doesn't freeze!
I put it as the first line in my Startup-Sequence file :-)

Do you think it could be possible to make it "rommable", as a sort of module, for embedding into Kickstart ROM? Just an idea, don't know if it would work as it does now.

A great THANK YOU!

I think you could upload the program to Aminet, it could be useful for Apollo users which have problems with the SCSI device.

Hi,

First of all, apologies for necro'ing this thread. But I just wanted to give a big thanks and a shout out to Piru for this utility.

For a while I had been trying to get my A4000 with the A4060 to recognize large hard drives. But no matter what method I tried, IDE-Fix, patched scsi.device, the A4000 would always hang on reboot.

I must have torn apart this A4000 dozens of times, thinking it was some combination of hardware( A4060, Deneb, Spectrum 24, Network card) that was causing the conflict and a hang. I had almost given up when just out the blue I tried to google Apollo 4060 and scsi.device and stumbled across this thread.

Piru, your utility works a treat. I was surprised you were still hosting it on your site after all this time. Now I can use a patched scsi.device and hopefully get large hd support working.

Thanks again,

Mark
