Silverlining Pro 6.2 ReadMe Page 1 Welcome - Quick Start Guide What's New in 6.2? Silverlining Pro 6.2 adds support for USB and FireWire Storage devices, such as LaCie's USB hard disk and magneto-optical removable cartridge drives, as well as LaCie's new FireWire peripherals. In addition to adding support for LaCie USB and FireWire drives, several other improvements have been made for SCSI and IDE/ATAPI drives including: • Installer is provided for easier installation • Improved performance for very large (>16MByte) transfers • Improved caching for drives with 1024, 2048, 4096 bytes/sector • Improved support for System 8.5 and 8.6 ICONs • Improved compatibility with Norton Disk Doctor for HFS+ partitions • Improved password performance Silverlining Pro is compatible with MacOS 8.5.1 and 8.6. For best FireWire performance, be sure to use Mac OS 8.6 and update the Apple FireWire support to v2.1 or later. Additional info available at: http://www.apple.com/firewire Outstanding Issues: • Silverlining Pro password protection is NOT fully compatible with PowerBook G3 sleep mode. If you have external SCSI devices initialized with Silverlining Pro, they may not be remounted if you allow your PowerBook to sleep, and then wake-up. After wake-up, your drives will may not be mounted due to a unresolved problem that Apple is investigating. You may need to reboot to access your drive. Your drive will not be damaged.
