Using Catalyst 2.0 with the Apple III and hard disk drives
This article has been archived and is no longer updated by Apple.
To use Catalyst 2.0 with the Apple III and hard disk drives other than the
ProFile, you need to change the driver configuration block of the .CATALYST
driver as follows:
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
(See notes just below) 00 8F 97 8A 91 93 23 17 17 F6 00 B8
Notes:
00 - Slot number
01- Unit number
02 - Type
03 - Sub Type
04 - Low Byte, Manufacturer's ID
05 - High Byte, Manufacturer's ID
For a 10 megabyte ProFile, copy the information in bytes 00 through 05 from the
existing Catalyst hard disk driver configuration block (DCB) of the Catalyst
driver that you are using. For a 10 MB Profile, the DCB should look like this:
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
slot 00 01 01 23 00 00 8F 97 8A 91 93 23 17 17 F6 00 B8
For a 5 MB Profile, the DCB should look like this:
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
slot 00 D1 01 23 00 00 8F 97 8A DD 93 23 E8 17 F6 3B C3
ProFile, you need to change the driver configuration block of the .CATALYST
driver as follows:
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11
