Subject: Mt. Everything 1.5.0a4
Mt. Everything is a control panel allowing you to manage your SCSI
devices and mount Macintosh volumes from any SCSI disk. Additionally
it lets you gather information about all partitions located on a given
SCSI drive and lets you inspect the content of a drive without
having to mount a volume from it.
Mt. Everything 1.5 adds full support for mutliple SCSI buses, including
SCSI buses added by third party expansion cards to your computer. It supports
Ultra/Wide SCSI buses.
Mt. Everything 1.5.0a4 still is an alpha release. It represents work in
progress
and is neither feature complete nor carefully tested. It is intended to supply
a timely fix for broken features in Mt. Everything 1.5.0a3.
What is new in 1.5.0a4?
- Most important, a bug introduced 1.5.0a3, that would cause Mt. Everything
not to mount
volumes from SCSI-disks that weren't powered on a boot time, has been fixed.
- Another somewhat weird and rare problem has been fixed. See the README
for details.
- A very preliminary version of Mt. Everything's hotkey is back in this
release.
Since Mt. Everything 1.5.0a3 failed to mount volumes under certain
conditions, some of
the new features in alpha 3 were inaccessible for most people. Thus I have
left part
of the alpha 3 feature list in here, since most of it applies (finally) to
this release.
What was new in 1.5.0a3?
- Experimental support for mounting volumes which are marked not to
"Auto-Mount" in their
setup-program. This new feature currently works only for drives which have
been prepared
with Apple's "Drive Setup" program.
- Experimental support for SCSI-2 compliant optical storage devices like MO
drives added.
Mt. Everything will treat them the same as a normal hard disk and should be
able
to mount volumes from such drives if the drive (or better its medium) has
been prepared
to be used by Mac OS computers.
- Mt. Everything now should mount PowerBooks 1400 running in disk mode
like it does with other PowerBook models.
