The most recent version of ProSel that I have (5/89 -- I know its not
THE most recent) came with the following warning:

"It seems that the optimizer and perhaps the volume repair in ProSel-16
will not work with the new Apple SCSI card or Apple SCSI driver.
Considerable circumstantial evidence points to the SCSI driver as the
probable culprit.  Regretfully, this will probably not be fixed in the
near future unless Apple will release the source to the SCSI driver for
examination; an unlikely event.  This does not affect the 8-bit programs
Beach Comber 32 and Mr.  Fixit, which work fine on all HDs."

Can anyone shed any more light on this?  Since it MAY have come with an
earlier version (the one I have did come with something called a SCSI
patch) is it still a problem?  Does it relate to the recent 5.0 and
5.0.2 >64K/cross boundary problem that has been discussed?

(Yes, the version I have is legit -- I just forget which one the warning
applied to; I don't have a more recent one because I get mine direct,
having no other reason to pay for a compuserve or other account on the
services he seems to post updates on.)
