Initializing The Hard Disk; Initializing The Hard Disk With The Macintosh - Xante Accel-a-Graphix CT4 User Manual

Initializing the Hard Disk

Hard disks are identified by device numbers. The internal SCSI ID
number for your controller is 0.
Caution: Initializing a disk erases all information stored on it.
When initializing, make sure you choose the correct
device number for the hard disk.
If you are working in a PC environment, skip to "Initializing a Hard
Disk with the PC."

Initializing the Hard Disk with the Macintosh

You can initialize the controller's internal hard disk in a Macintosh
environment by creating a PostScript file to initialize the disk, and
then downloading this file to the controller's hard disk using the
Adobe Downloader in the XANTÉ Utilities.
Caution: Make sure the controller is selected in the Chooser
before initializing the hard disk.
Note: Some XANTÉ Utilities versions have an Initialize disk.ps
file. This file will initialize all SCSI disks attached to the
controller. To initialize a specific disk, use the following
procedure to create and download the PostScript file.
This procedure creates a PostScript file that initializes disk #0, the
first disk in your controller. To initialize a different disk, change the
number 0 in the (%disk0%) string to the SCSI ID# for the disk you
want to initialize.
1. Open the TeachText program which came with your
Macintosh system.
2. Select New from the File menu.
