I haven't heard of that program. Where did it come from?
The HDSCPARTITION program supplied with the original Apple SCSI card
should work with all ROM versions. I got my copy with a revision A
ROM, and the card was later upgraded to revision C.
It is unlikely that other programs will work with ROM versions earlier
than revision C, because these versions of the ROM don't support the
standard SmartPort format command.
A suggestion: upgrade your SCSI card to revision C, and solve a whole
bunch of potential problems.
