4.1: Quickly load drivers for removable
media drives upon start-up
HDT Extension is a uniquely intelligent start-up program. It will automatically search
your SCSI bus for removable devices or erasable optical drives that do not have cartridges
inserted. HDT Extension will pre-load drivers into memory for these drives so that
cartridges inserted after startup will automatically mount.
NOTE: If you do not have any removable devices or erasable optical drives, you do not need
to use HDT Extension.
Important information regarding HDT Extension
Be sure you have removed any other INIT or Control Panel device that automatically
mounts or loads drivers for removable drives. This includes any file within the System
Folder that was included with any other formatting software or removable drive.
On startup, HDT Extension will search through the SCSI bus to find any removable
devices that do not have a cartridge inserted. The Extension will then pre-load drivers for
these devices, allowing cartridges inserted after bootup to automatically mount. If it loads
a driver for a device, it will display an icon in the startup sequence with that device's SCSI
ID number.
