Gunstar Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Are there any? I assume it's necessary even on an Atari... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedijeff Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I think there was a program by Oregon Research that defragged hard drives, but it might have just been a backup/restore program. My ST has been boxed up for a few years now, but if I run across any info I'll let you know. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedijeff Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I found it a lot quicker than I thought I would. Oregon Research made a program called Diamond Edge that optimized hard drives. I don't know how many updates it had but I'm sure the later the version # the better. Hope that helps. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I think there was a program by Oregon Research that defragged hard drives, but it might have just been a backup/restore program. My ST has been boxed up for a few years now, but if I run across any info I'll let you know. Jeff Diamond Edge was probably the most popular back in the day, and is now sold (yes, it's still sold) by Anodyne Software, who I believe purchased the rights from Oregon Research. I think ICD Utilities also does so, but not sure if that only works on HDs connected through an ICD host adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ProToS] Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 hi, Hard drive optimiser/defragger version 2.9 - MagiC VFAT, large partitions and BigDOS compatible. Now checks the cluster-chain for directories. (Combined German and English archive) http://www.cix.co.uk/~derryck/misc/hp_opt29.lzh This is the MiNT only! version of the HPOptimizer. It's otherwise unchanged from V2.9 Combined English/German package http://www.cix.co.uk/~derryck/misc/hpopt29x.lzh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 Well, my HD uses a BMS-100/Adaptec ACB-4000 controller which is ST506&ST412 compatible, which I think is the Atari HD standard too. I'm currently using plain old TOS 1.0 as my OS, so I think Diamond Edge is what I need apparently, since the others seem to be for MINT, MagiC and Bigdos...
