Boot disk for reference hard drive for ST/Mega machines


Recommended Posts

I was reading that the Reference hard drive used the ICD AddSCSI chipset and also read on another site there is a generic boot disk for hard drives that use this interface. Can anyone confirm that this is indeed the case, you don't need manufacturer specific boot disk?

 

I am curious to know what is on the drive....oh and also try out those hard disk installs of games (which would be great)

There is floppy image with all ICD SW you need when using/preparing some hard disk with their SCSI adapters. It is now freeware. ICD driver is very good, and there is many supporting tool. But not updated over 15 years.

You can use Hddriver too - but it is not cheap.

Or mine - see for more at: atari.8bitchip.info .

No need for manufacturers specific boot disk - what floppy (which self is not bootable) contains is partitioner, driver installer, some diagnostic etc. After installing, drivers autoboot from hard disk self, and you don't need floppy for normal usage.
