This directory contains publicly-distributable utilities for MacOS 
(9.x and prior) that proved useful (or mandatory) in preparing Apple
Macintoshes for loading Linux or *BSD distributions.

Except as indicated, the existing entries are probably MacOS m68k (old
Motorola 68000-family) binaries: I collected the bulk of these files
to Unix-ise my m68k-based Mac IIci.

                                        Apple HD SC Setup hard drive utility,
                                        for basic partitioning of SCSI drives.  
                                        Without Ernst J. Oud's patch (below),
                                        works only on Apple-brand drives.  From:

 ----- removed ----- DiskTool.sea.hqx   Tim Endres's DiskTool utility, a 
                                        partition editor for Mac disks, 
                                        comparable to Apple HD SC Setup (or
                                        FWB's HDT or Silverlining).  From:

 ----- removed ----- Drive_Setup_1.7.3.smi.hqx
                                        Apple Drive Setup.  m68k version.
                                        Later versions have lower version nos.,
                                        but are for the PPC architecture.  
                                        This partitioning utility is Apple's
                                        replacement for the earlier Apple HD SC
                                        Setup utility, and adds ATA ("IDE") 
                                        support.  Packaged as a self-mounting 
                                        image (smi file).  Works on either 
                                        m68k or PPC Macs.  From:
