This is a frequently stated falsehood around here lately it seems. Randy Shackelford corrected it partly. He partitioned on a IIGS with ADU and put a driver on with a Mac. Better yet- If you have an Apple brand drive (not the current ones apparently, just the older ones and probably any ripped out current internals), ADU will put a driver on the HD that is for Apple drives. But, if you run my GenEx program "on" ADU, you will get a file named GenericMacSCSI that ADU takes as (self documenting) a generic SCSI HD driver for a Mac. It isn't really generic, it is just the Apple driver in new clothing. Anyway, ADU trusts you, and will put this driver on any (non-Apple) hard drive. I posted GenEx to comp.binaries.apple2 recently. I should make sure it gets to ftp.cco.caltech.edu... Please note, as GenEx's docs note, that 1) this is a blatant abuse of Apple's software and the over-documentation they were nice enough to supply to programmers and 2) it is not guaranteed to work, but has worked fine for me. Has anyone else out there used GenEx with good results? With bad results? Oh yeah, and 3) it is illegal to distribute the file that GenEx produces. -- -- jay.krell@cornell.edu
