HFS+--now what

[Dr. Paul Atchley]

Configuration Information:
Version: 4.0.3
Operating system: System 8.1

Hello!

I purchased Disklock to use on a new Powerbook. I
assumed the product would work, but now I see that
it does not support HFS+ drives. Now what? Should
I just return the product?

Thanks

You probably should return the product.

You could try reformatting your drive as an HFS Standard volume, and
then it may work with your powerbook.

However, if your Powerbook is very new (as I suspect it is), you may
still run into compatibility problems with Disklock. Some of the newest
G3 machines, even if formatted as HFS Standard, are exhibiting errors
and anomalies when one tries to protect them with Disklock. If you need
security immediately, you might want to try a product from one of our
competitors.

Hopefully, Disklock will updated by the end of 1998.

Let me know if you have further questions.
