Filename : WHATSNEW.TXT
DESK REFERENCE:
This file will be maintained starting April 1992.
04/17/92 ST325N SCSI drive added.
UltraStor BBS added and their Tech Support # corrected.
ST01/02 SCSI host adapter v3.3 board layout added.
Added reminder to all decks to be sure to register
the HyperHelper program.
05/18/92 Added ST-42400N.
Correct spindle speeds on ST11200 family.
06/01/92 Added a "user link" which allows anyone who cares to
attach/expand their own technical info to the Desk
Reference. The user file must be called USER.HTX and
must, of course, be prepared in accordance to
HYPERHELPER. The USER.HTX file distributed from
Seagate is merely a dummy screen.
06/05/92 Lots of new BBS numbers added to the phonelist section.
06/08/92 Added "Print/Export" to the top of each deck. This
allows a complete card to be saved to a plain ASCII
file. If PRN or LPT1 is given as the file name, then
it will print. This was active on previous releases
but omitted from the menu. One note of caution... if
the data is being read from a server, then the user
will need rights to create and delete in that
subdirecory in order to make use of Print/Export.

Added ST-9052A.
07/13/92 Corrected description of Motor Start and Start Delay

94221 family Wren 5).

pin-28 SPSYNC- info to front view of ST3283A.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
