SpinRite 6

Hi,

Only some info about Steve Gibson's upcoming new version 6 of SpinRite.

If you want to know what SpinRite is, go to the SpinRite site:
http://grc.com/spinrite.htm

If you're interested in the development discussion, here is the forum-link:
grc.spinrite.dev
http://news.grc.com/news.exe?cmd=xover&group=grc.spinrite.dev
The web-based interface is, as always at GRC, read-only; you need a news-reader to post.

Here is what Steve wrote about "SpinRite 6.0 Plans and Goals":

Some notes by me:

SpinRite is not free.
I would say that it is only for experienced users.
You definitely have to read the manual very carefully !
You must have a good backup image.
It is not my intention to start a discussion about Steve nor SpinRite, only to give some links/info for those of you who are interested.

 

A little bit more info from Steve:

....I expect to be eMailing SR6.0 announcements
and working on the 6.1 release pretty much throughout the first quarter of 2004.
