A brief synopsis of it's features:
* Supports all Ataris, the Milan, MagiCMac and MagicPC as well as Aranym. For MagiCMac and MagicPC the SCSI Driver by Steffen Engel is required. Note: Under MagiCMac and MagiCPC only install SCSIDRV, but not CBHD. * Driver for Atari SH/Megafile, SCSI, IDE and ATAPI drives. * Works with all kinds of hard disk drives and removable media drives (MOD, PD, DVD-RAM, SyQuest, Nomai, ZIP, JAZ, LS-120, CompactFlash adapters, ...). * Support for SCSI drives up to 8192 GByte and IDE drives up to 2048 GByte. For SCSI drives with a capacity > 1 GByte Atari ST and STE require an ICD compatible SCSI host adapter, e. g. the LINK97. * Special functions (Auto-Sleep, Auto-Park, password protection) for ZIP and JAZ drives. * Automatic and secure recognition of media changes. * Support for DOS/Windows compatible media guarantees an easy data exchange between TOS, DOS/Windows, MacOS and Linux. * DOS/Windows compatible partitioning (including FAT32) with the Atari. * VFAT or FAT32 partitions (long filenames, virtually unlimited partition size) with MagiC or MiNT. * With MiNT access to Linux partitions, resulting in an easy data exchange between TOS and Linux. * With MagiC or MiNT 23 partitions or more at the same time. * Non-blocking SCSI and ACSI data transfers with MagiC. Applications keep on running while data are being transferred. * Reconstruction of partitions in case the root sector was corrupted. * Compatible with the current XHDI standard 1.30, with support for all optional functions. * Compatible with the current SCSI Driverstandard 1.01 for accessing SCSI, IDE and ATAPI peripherals (CD/DVD-ROM, CD/DVD burners, scanner, streamer etc.), including SCSI target interface. * Write protection for particular partitions and for boot and root sectors. * SCSI initiator identification and bus arbitration ensures highest compatibility with the SCSI standard. * Error statistics * Boots from any partition * Arbitrary device order * Parameters of SCSI and ATAPI devices can be changed, e. g. the cache settings. * The HDDRIVER package includes several useful tools. * All programs are bilingual (German and English).
Note: The Afterburner, the Hades and the CT060 are not officially supported, but HDDRIVER has been tested successfuly with them. Those using this hardware should try the demo version first.
