               HDToolBox Patch for Optical Drives 1.2 (06-Aug-25)

                     Copyright © 2025 by Mark Knibbs

HDToolBox cannot be properly used with SCSI devices that are set to "optical
memory device" mode, as opposed to "direct access device", which is normal for
hard disks. This applies to magneto-optical drives and Panasonic's PD
rewriteable drive. It may also apply to DVD-RAM drives. For more information
on magneto-optical drives, see my Amiga Magneto-Optical Drive FAQ, on Aminet as
docs/help/Amiga_MO_FAQ.lha.

This patch modifies HDToolBox to work with both devices of type 0 and type 7,
i.e. both hard disks and optical drives.
If you have another version of HDToolBox, please contact me.
