  • A.L.F. 2 is a general hard disk driver software with 16 different hardware versions based on it
  • supports processor cards and does some optimizations for the better processors
  • handles drives up to 1 GB only
  • Model 1:
    • only ST506/412, either MFM or RLL
    • cannot autoboot – by making the driver reset resistent, rebooting off hard disk is possible

  • Model 2:
    • ST506/412 (either MFM or RLL) or SCSI
