good deal.

DETAILS:
This is the external, SCSI-2 version of a removable media drive which uses
150MB cartridges.  This unit recognizes smaller sized cartridges and has the
ability to "plug and play" with any SCSI equipped machine, (Amiga, Mac, PC).
I have used this drive to make hard drive backups and to provide "Near Line"
storage.  It has proven to be fast, quiet and much perferred over floppies
for making backups.  As far as making backups go, Quarterback, AmiBack and
DiskSalv each recognize the drive and handle multi-cartridge backups with
ease.  Using Quarterback and a modest 1MB cache (configured from within QB),
I can backup my harddrive at the rate of 7+ MB / minute.
In addition, this drive has provided me with the option of formatting media
in bootable Mac and/or PC volumes -- very useful when you want a bootable
ShapeShifter, PC-Task or Bridgeboard volumes.

user: You are replying to Ron Freas about "Re: HD ToolBox (S.O.S.)".

Write your reply.

assistant: Had the same dilema...
SysInfo was able to read the drives
..'bugged' me for hours.
SCSI_DEVICE_NAME= scsi.device
then HDtool box will read the drives.
Dear Ron, Thank you for the information, but when I tried what you
suggested I still receive the same statement:
"Driver Not Installed".
I checked with a local user that I am good friends with and he thinks
that it is possible that my GVP controller is not compatable with the
old commodore HD ToolBox. He was running the same A500 which I have
but with the 20 Meg old A590. Don't know if the (A590) is the correct
nomenclature for the drive or controller. I did manage after much
frustration to run snoop-dos and found out that HD Tool-Box was
searching for the following:
"xt.device"
This showed up as a "Fail" in snoop-dos.
I believe that (xt.device) is the actual name for the surfaced mounted
Rom Chip on the old comodore controllers because (gvpscsi.device) is the
name of my Rom Chip on my GVP A500-HD+ controller card. Now since the
(xt.device) failed in snoop-dos it changed directory to the Icon and
then I received a Fail on (gvpscsi.device) which leads me to believe
that naturaly it won't recongnize the gvp device after not finding the
xt.device. I think this stands for external device abbreviated.
I might be wrong on this whole matter, but It seems to be the closest
logical explaination I can come up with. Please provide any further
insight if you can.
Thank you very much.
