What's New

  • Improved user interface with integrated help
  • Fix for Jaz drive detection
  • TIP will now manage any number of drives without the need to specify a SCSI ID
    • When you start TIP, the drives you wish to test with should be without any media.

Known Issues:

  • On the Mac Plus and/or System 7.0.1, clicking anywhere in the menu bar will cause a hard crash
  • Unpacking the archive seems to generate a bunch of duplicate files. You only need the "Iomega Tester" and the "tip-doc" in the top level directory, the others can be deleted. This seems to be a bug in StuffIt 1.5.5, which I am using for compatibility with my Mac Plus.
  • Normally TIP will prompt you to unmount disks as they are inserted, to prevent corruption of mounted disks. However, if you insert an unformatted disk, Mac OS will format it and it will remain mounted; this could lead to corruption if you then start a test.
