Drive Information
Click on the drive's name to highlight it. To get information on the highlighted drive,
click on Info ... in the upper right-hand comer of the Control Panel window, or double-
click on the ID bar for that device.
Prober will give basic information on the drive, including:
• The SCSI ID number
• The manufacturer
• The type of drive (fixed, removable, optical, etc.)
• The block size and total capacity
• The Macintosh partition scheme it uses
• The total number of partitions
To close the information window, click on it anywhere. To get more specific information
on the driver descriptors, their addresses, and the partition scheme of the drive, press the
Option key. Info ... will then change into More Info. Click on this button and a full probe
of the drive will result.
Mounting a Drive
The dots next to the ID bars in the Prober control panel indicate whether the drive is
mounted. To mount a drive, click on its
ID
bar to select it, and then click on Mount in
the upper right-hand corner of the window.
Prober will mount all partitions that are defined as automounting. This program will also
mount most drives even if they have not been formatted by Primer.
Device Driver Installed
204
If you hold down the Option key while in the main dialog, the dots for currently mounted
drives will change to indicate whether a device driver is installed. This diagnostic func-
tion can determine if HDT Extension has correctly loaded a device driver for this SCSI ID.
The device driver function can prove especially helpful with cartridge drives. If there is no
cartridge in the drive but the device driver is installed, it will mount on the Desktop when
you insert a cartridge into the drive.
