|
||
THEREF(tm) is a comprehensive Directory of Hard Drives, Floppy Drives,
|
||
Optical Drives, and Drive Controllers & Host Adapters. It is designed to
|
||
help the novice and pro alike with integration problems and system setups.
|
||
Information is provided in two handy formats; Portrait mode, for those
|
||
who prefer a normal book-binding type print format, and(or) do not have a
|
||
printer with Landscape capability. And Landscape mode, for those who pre-
|
||
fer a computer-printout type format.
|
||
For printing, a Laserjet is preferred, but not necessary, and setup
|
||
info is provided. For viewing, LIST(tm) by Vernon Buerg, will provide an
|
||
excellent result, and allow text searches for finding specific models.

REVISION HISTORY
|
||
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
|
||
|
||
VERSION 1.00 This version was a preliminary attempt to start to compile
|
||
(early '89) a list of drives in ASCII. It was intended for in-house
|
||
use only, not released publicly.
|
||
|
||
VERSION 2.00 Decided to use File Express(tm) as the database of choice
|
||
(mid '89) for building a listing of drives and controllers. Used
|
||
portrait mode for all specs. Still an in-house publication.
|
||
|
||
VERSION 3.00 Changed to Landscape mode for the Drives List. Stayed with
|
||
11-21-89 portrait mode for controllers. First distribution to close
|
||
friends. Listed 431 drives and 134 controllers.
|
||
|
||
VERSION 3.10 Not released.
|
||
|
||
VERSION 3.20 First official public release on BBSs. Went to landscape
|
||
04-01-90 mode for both listings. Listed 973 drives and 231 control-
|
||
lers.
|
||
|
||
VERSION 4.00 This major release was formatted to support Laserjet type
|
||
07-25-90 printers, for maximum impact and clarity. Portrait and
|
||
Landscape of printing were included for each file. The file
|
||
"Diagrams.Doc" was started after the initial release, but
|
||
found it's way public, and so was released as an unfinished,
|
||
"running" document with all future releases of THEREF(tm).
|
||
This version listed 1,055 drives and 286 controllers.
|
||
|
||
VERSION 4.10 This version brought sections on Floppy Drives and Optical
|
||
01-04-91 Drives. "Diagrams.Doc" was offically released with this
|
||
version. The Manufacturers Directory was expanded to four
|
||
parts to cover the new sections, and page 5 was added to the
|
||
Diagrams.doc file. This version listed 1,282 Hard Drives,
|
||
86 Floppy Drives, 140 Optical Drives, and 315 Controllers.
|
||
|
||
VERSION 4.11 Important correction to Diagrams.doc file. A "bug fix" file
|
||
was sent to distribution points for insertion.
|
||
|
||
VERSION 4.12 Minor correction to Diagrams.doc file. No corrections sent
|
||
out.
|
||
|
||
VERSION 4.20 This version...for better or worse...I hope you think that
|
||
10-01-91 it's better. If not, I'd like to know why. |
