All Ataris, the Milan, the Suska board and MIST. Other Atari compatible platforms may also work but are not officially supported. (Check the compatibility with your hardware with the demo version.)
Atari SH/Megafile, SCSI, IDE, ATAPI and SATA drives, removable media drives (SyQuest, ZIP, JAZ, PD, MOD, SuperDisk/LS-120, ...), SSDs, DOMs, memory cards.
IDE/SATA drives, also those with more than 2 TiB capacity.
Drives and memory cards of up to 1 EiB (Exbibyte). SCSI drives with a capacity > 1 GiB connected to the ACSI bus require a suitable host adapter to use their full capacity, e.g. an adapter by Inventronik, an ICD Link or a LINK96/97. (TOS, MagiC or MiNT can only use 2 TiB. Software using the SCSI Driver and supporting 64 bit sector numbers can access sectors beyond the 2 TiB limit.)
The GigaFile SD card drive (ACSI and SCSI) by Inventronik and the UltraSatan SD card drive (ACSI) by Lotharek.
8 configurable sub-units (LUNs) per SCSI/ACSI device.
Drives/media with physical sector sizes of up to 4096 bytes.
SATA Advanced Format Drives (AFD), in particular 512e and 4Kn hard disk drives.
DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and BD-RE media can be partitioned with a FAT filesystem and can be used like regular removable media.
Unsupported Hardware
Because of firmware issues SCSI2SD and notably ACSI2SD are not officially supported. (Also see the firmware issue list in the SCSI2SD release notes.) Verify the compatibility of your firmware with the HDDRIVER demo version.
The CT* and the Afterburner040 for the Falcon are not officially supported, but are known to work in practice.
The SatanDisk is not officially supported. It is recommended to use the UltraSatan or GigaFile instead.
Windows (Windows XP and newer) compatible partitioning (including FAT32) with the Atari.
Partitions can be mapped to drives A: and B:.
With TOS 16 (A:-P:), with MagiC 25 (A:-Z: except U:), with MiNT or Big-DOS 31 (1:-6: and A:-Z: except U:) BIOS drives.
FAT16 partition sizes of up to 1 GiB (2 GiB with MagiC or Big-DOS), depending on the TOS version (see FAQ for details).
With MagiC or MiNT access to VFAT and FAT32 partitions (long filenames, almost unlimited partition size).
With MiNT access to Minix and Linux partitions.
Automatic byteswapping for all buses and devices.
Support for Master Boot Record and UEFI GUID partition tables (GPT).
Speed and Performance
Special operating modes for fast ACSI and IDE data transfers.
Optional blitter support for extra fast IDE transfers.
With MagiC non-blocking SCSI and ACSI data transfers: Applications keep
on running while data are being transferred in the background.
HDDRIVER can be booted into TT-RAM, e.g. to boost the IDE transfer rate with the Thunder IDE interface or the Milan. (But also in order to allocate less ST-RAM.)
Configurable cache size (GEMDOS cache).
Integrated FOLDRxxx, CACHExxx, JARxxx, POOLFIX3 and SCSIDRV functionality speeds up the boot process and relieves the AUTO folder.
The device IDs to be checked by HDDRIVER can be configured, so that when booting no time is lost by checking for non-existing devices.
For maximum performance and compact code HDDRIVER is coded in pure 68000 and 68030 assembler.
Device and Media Maintenance
Formatting and partitioning, TOS and Windows compatible.
Editing of partition data, e.g. partition ID or cluster size.
Loading and saving of complete drive or partition data (image files).
Complete or partial copying of media, e.g. for cloning, backup or for exchanging data.
Recovery of partition table in case the root sector was corrupted.
Configuration settings of SCSI, ATAPI and SATA devices can be changed, e.g. the cache settings.
Triggering of self-tests for devices supporting this feature.
Sector Test
Device Scan
Other Features
Easy and quick installation, all existing data are preserved.
Compatible with the latest XHDI standard 1.30, with support for all optional functions.
Compatible with the latest SCSI Driver standard 1.01 (including target interface) for accessing any peripheral
(CD/DVD-ROM, CD/DVD/BD writer, streamer etc.) with third-party drivers.
