SCSINoLUN V1.5 ©SpeedGeek 2015.
INTRODUCTION:
SCSINoLUN is a small patch program intended for the OS3.5/3.9 versions of
HDtoolBox. Unfortunately, these versions no longer support the Tooltype
"SCSI_MAX_LUN". This was very useful to many third party SCSI device
users (e.g. omniscsi.device) because they lack the ability to disable LUN
scans at the driver level. It can take a full minute or longer to scan the
SCSI bus for all LUNs which is very annoying especially if you don't need any
LUN support!
SCSINoLUN doesn't prevent HDtoolBox (or any other SCSI tools) from scanning
for LUNs. But it does dramatically speed up the LUN scan (even faster than
the scsi.device with LUNs disabled). My system now completes the scan
in approx. 6 seconds! But of course, your mileage will vary with CPU and
SCSI controller speed.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Any 68K Amiga with a SCSI controller supporting "scsidisk.h" unit numbers
(e.g. A2091 = Yes, A2090 = No)
- System hardware not needing LUN support (e.g. SCSI card reader = No)
- Device name with 'scsi' characters (in lower case) and a maximum length of 24 characters
- OS2.x or higher (OS1.3 maybe it works, but don't send me any bug reports!)
Enjoy!
P.S. Another thread will posted on EAB to satisfy non-Amibay member download issues.
