Not true. AHDI 6.061 supports the old drives like it was written
only for them. AHDI 6.06, took forever to figure out that it was an
old drive, and AHDI 6.061, as far as I can tell has only two extra
features - 1) it'll keep from corrupting the drive on a Falcon if the
partition is filled up at some point or other, and 2) speed up the
identification sequence for older hard drives. I know this, since I
use it on both my Falcon and the Mega ST I use at work for, well,
work. I also formatted the drives for both machines.
