Mode page edit

Chuck writes: If you're really bored you can learn how to do mode page editing on SCSI drives yourself. I learned it a couple of years back when I got a boatload of Micropolis 1.6Gig drives that had been set for 520-byte sectors and wanted to use them in a more "normal" 512-byte mode. Since then the skill has come in handy to connect modern, fast, and "large" (i.e. 9 Gbytes or larger) SCSI drives onto systems that don't deal with drives that large. Just go in, edit the disk capacity mode page, and you've got a smaller than 1 Gig drive that never has to seek very far :-). -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927
