WHATS NEW: Version 1.7:
Michael Weller (eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de):
scsiformat and tk_scsiformat
added support for other defect formats and allowed
scsi-config to query it.
WHATS NEW: Version 1.6:
I (Michael Weller) don't know what happened. Noone updated any doc
file. Go figure.
WHATS NEW: Version 1.5:
Michael Weller (eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de):
My main intention was to add support for log pages. However even though
one of my disks supports log sense it seems not to return anything
senseable. For example the 1st byte that was returned is 0x23 even in
page 0. This is complete nonsense.
scsiinfo.c:
Real return codes: 2 - syntax, 1 - error, 0 - ok.
-L option to display list of supported/notched mode pages and active
notch.
Name of page given in error messages.
MODE_SENSE_10 support for -L option (don't know a device that
supports it).
More devices for -l, uses nst?, non rewinding scsi-tape is much
faster.
Useful and more usage messages.
hexoutput for boundaries in notch page is more useful for physical
notches.
ending boundary for notch page fixed.
intfield and friends, length of description string changed.
support for Verify Error Recovery page.
support for arbitrary hex fields (needed for Peripheral Device Page)
support for Peripheral Device Page
support for writing an executable save file (-LXR option)
scsi-config:
Window layout unified. (scsi-config tk/*).
Notch page buttons are marked (and active notch given).
Only buttons for supported pages (auto setup).
Select first button in select device dialog.
No save button if no cache-page (scsiinfo - internal misfeature).
No continue button if no device accessible in select device dialog.
Changed non-root warning message.
support for Verify Error Recovery page.
support for Peripheral Device Page
support for Save to file.
support for Geometry Overview.
tk/generic:
Reread mode page after change to display set values.
tk/notch:
Reenable/disable text widgets. (it is impossible to edit disabled
text widgets. This was needed cause readonly fields may change when
the active notch changes).
tk/verify:
new file (based on tk/error)
tk/peripheral:
new file
tk/save-file:
new file
tk/overview:
new file
Makefile:
support for install-wish script to auto search the wish executable
and change the #! entries according to these.
WHATS NEW: Version 1.4:
Cleanups all over the place. Much more compact, and much
easier to notice bugs.
You can now save the current operating parameters to the drive's
NOVRAM.
WHATS NEW: Version 1.3:
Support for Notch page.
All windows can write parameters back to the drive (if device
allows it).
A few bugfixes here and there.
A few patches from Harald Koenig.
