Yesterday, I wrote that Rodime had promised to send me the very-latest
version of their new disk driver/formatter and documentation. When I
came in to work this morning, a FedEx overnight-letter package was
waiting for me; it included the 2.03 formatter disk, a marked-up draft
copy of Rodime's new "Software User's Guide", and some Rodime product
announcements and an end-user bulletin.
The new documentation is very much superior to the software-use
information that was shipped with the Rodime 45-meg internal drive we
recently purchased. It describes all of the steps needed to format and
partition a Rodime drive using the new software, gives troubleshooting
instructions, explains the effect of different interleave numbers,
explains disk partitioning, explains the disk subsystem's
defect-handling strategy, and [hurrah!] lists the telephone number, FAX
number, and Telex and AppleLink addresses of Rodime's tech-support
department.
I've posted the latest&greatest Rodime formatter/driver to
Info-Mac@sumex and to comp.binaries.mac, with Rodime's permission.
Rodime dealers should have this software in a few weeks.
