SuperDriver FAQ

Q. What is SuperDriver?

A. SuperDriver is a software package that contains drivers, descriptors for using SCSI and IDE drives under NitrOS-9 for the Color Computer. It is the most complete SCSI and IDE support package for the Color Computer ever to exist, supporting all versions of NitrOS-9 and working with a variety of drives.

Q. Which hard disk controllers does SuperDriver support?

A. Cloud-9's TC^3 SCSI Controller is supported, as well as the SuperIDE Interface and Glenside's IDE Interface.

Q. Does SuperDriver really support CD-ROM drives?

A. Yes! Even DVD-ROM drives have been used. SuperDriver adapts to CD-ROM drives, which use 2,048 byte sectors. Please note that the ISO 9660 format that is common among CD-ROMs is NOT supported under OS-9 at the moment. What IS supported is an RBF disk image burned onto a CD-ROM. Supporting ISO 9660 CD-ROMs has nothing to do with SuperDriver; it would be necessary to write a file manager.

Q. How well does SuperDriver integrate with HDB-DOS?

A. Very well! Using provided device descriptors, you can access any of HDB-DOS' 256 virtual drives right from NitrOS-9, with any of the standard NitrOS-9 tools and disk utilities. No additional software is needed.
