On this page you find free tools which make use of the open software standards supported by HDDRIVER. More free software can be downloaded on the SCSI Driver page and on my homepage.
DISKUS 3.99.5
DISKUS (German only) is a powerful tool for managing mass storage devices (error analysis, data recovery, sector editor, sending of SCSI commands and much more). The archive contains the current German manual as a PDF.
DISKUS uses the SCSI Driver interface, supports physical sector sizes up to 4096 bytes and 64 bit sector numbers. Therefore, DISKUS can access all sectors of media with a capacity greater than 2 TiB. With the appropriate SCSI Driver direct access to any interface (ACSI, SCSI, IDE/SATA, USB) is possible. With the SCSI Driver for Hatari and ARAnyM you can access mass storage devices directly under Linux.
Changes in DISKUS 3.99.5:
- DISKUS warns when using "Harddisk->Partitionen" for a medium with UEFI GUID partition tables (GPT).
- The manual was updated, especially the general information on partitioning and on peripherals.
IDE_INFO is a tool that displays some properties of an IDE/SATA drive/memory card, reported by the IDENTIFY DRIVE command.
The open XHDI standard supports applications with accessing mass storage devices. HDDRIVER supports the latest version XHDI 1.30. The XHDI specification is also available online as a hypertext.
HDDRIVER maps XHDI major device IDs to SCSI Driver bus IDs by dividing the major device ID by 8. This results in 8 XHDI major device IDs per bus.
XHDI_MON logs XHDI calls. The sources are available on GitHub.
