Short: TD_GETGEOMETRY test/demo program Author: olk@johann.nbg.sub.org (Oliver Knorr) Uploader: olk johann nbg sub org (Oliver Knorr) Type: disk/misc Version: 1.0 Requires: AmigaOS 2.04 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Kurz: Test- / Demoprogramm für TD_GETGEOMETRY There are several programs that need or can use TD_GETGEOMETRY, most of them are low-level disk utilities. Often there is no documentation which commands a device driver understands and not all programs using TD_GETGEOMETRY give meaningful error messages, so you can use TestGeometry first to check if your device does support it or not. You should get correct information about the device geometry if TD_GETGEOMETRY is supported, or "error -3 (command not supported by device) reading drive geometry" if not. Another possible use for TestGeometry (if the appropriate driver does support TD_GETGEOMETRY) is to obtain the geometry of a certain disk, for example for preparing it or for writing DEVS:DOSDrivers-files. If you have a device driver with a good TD_GETGEOMETRY implementation, like the omniscsi.device ("Guru-ROM"), you can get better values with this program than from HDToolBox.
