• All Ataris, the Milan, the Suska board and MIST. Other Atari compatible platforms may also work. In this case check the compatibility with the demo version.
• Atari Megafile, ACSI, SCSI, IDE, ATAPI and SATA drives, removable media drives (SyQuest, ZIP, JAZ, PD, MOD, SuperDisk/LS-120, ...), memory cards, SSDs, DOMs. With Atari's SH drives formatting is not supported.
• 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. (Depending on the drive TOS, MagiC or MiNT can only use the first 16 TiB. Software using the SCSI Driver and supporting 64 bit sector numbers can access sectors beyond the 16 TiB limit.)
• The GigaFile SD card drive (ACSI and SCSI) by Inventronik and the UltraSatan SD card drive (ACSI) by Lotharek.
• The RaSCSI/PiSCSI board for the Raspberry Pi, e.g. with SCSI2Pi.
• BlueSCSI V2, tested with the desktop version.
• 8 devices at the SCSI bus (TT or Falcon are also a SCSI device) and 8 devices at the ACSI bus.
• 8 sub-units (LUNs) per SCSI/ACSI device. With TT and Falcon SCSI the SCSI Driver supports 32 LUNs, e.g. with SCSi2Pi.
• 8 IDE/SATA/ATAPI devices: 2 with the Falcon, 4 with the Milan, up to 8 with suitable third-party IDE hardware.
• USB mass storage devices with third-party modules.
• Drives/media with physical sector sizes of 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 bytes.
• Support for LBA-48 (capacity > 128 GiB) with IDE/SATA hard drives.
• SATA Advanced Format Drives (AFD), in particular 512e and 4Kn hard drives.
• Multi-media drives: DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and BD-RE media can be used like hard drives, e.g. for backups.
• The Atari emulators Hatari and ARAnyM, including access to native Linux devices.
• The Atari emulators MagiCMac and MagicPC, including access to native SCSI devices.

For this hardware there is positive user feedback. Whether HDDRIVER really works with this hardware may depend on the firmware version. It is not possible for me to test this. Important: This is not about what HDDRIVER considers correct, but what the official specifications say. Test your hardware setup with the HDDRIVER demo version and the SCSI Driver/Firmware testsuite.

• BlueSCSI 1.1-20220917, but not 1.1-20221203. Tested with the desktop version at the internal SCSI port of a MegaSTE and TT. With a ribbon cable at the external port there were issues, though.
• ACSI2STM: Incompatibilities with the SCSI-2 standard, at least with old firmware versions.
• SD4ST/SD4ST+: Incompatibilities with the SCSI-2 standard, at least with old firmware versions.
• SCSI2SD: In the past there were recurring firmware issues.
• Falcons with Alternate RAM (e.g. Afterburner040, DFB1, CT*): Appear to work in practice.
• SatanDisk: Working according to user feedback.

At least with old firmware versions this hardware/emulation violates specifications. New firmware may fix the bugs, but it is not possible for me to test this.

• ACSI2SD: Not supported due to general issues with various drivers.
• FireBee: Not supported due to bugs in the FireBee's SCSI Driver.
• Atari emulator Steem: Not supported due to a broken/incomplete ACSI/SCSI emulation.

If you want to use unsupported or other than the listed hardware, you should test this hardware with the HDDRIVER demo version and the SCSI Driver/Firmware testsuite. If the testsuite does not report errors and the demo version works, the full version is likely to also work.

• Several TOS/Windows compatible partitions for exchanging data with PCs and Macs without any additional software or hardware.
• Windows (Windows XP and newer) compatible partitioning (including FAT32) with the Atari.
• Support of the super floppy layout (media without a root sector, e.g. floppy disks).
• 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.
• Detection of MBR (Master Boot Record) and UEFI GPT (GUID Partition Table) partitions.

• Special operating modes for fast ACSI and IDE data transfers.
• Optional blitter support for extra fast IDE transfers.
• With MagiC non-blocking DMA transfers (ACSI and SCSI): Applications keep on running while data are being transferred in the background.
• On the TT and the Milan HDDRIVER can be booted into TT-RAM, e.g. to boost the IDE transfer rate with the Thunder IDE interface. Booting into TT-RAM also saves valuable ST-RAM.
• Configurable cache size (GEMDOS cache).
• Integrated FOLDRxxx, CACHExxx, JARxxx and SCSIDRV functionality speeds up the boot process and relieves the AUTO folder.
• The relevant device IDs are configurable, so that while booting no time is wasted for non-existing devices.
• For maximum performance and compact code HDDRIVER is completely coded in 68000 and 68030 assembler.

• 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 (Read Test)
• Device Scan

• Easy and quick installation, all existing data are preserved.
