MREDRUP  is company would now appear to be no longer trading although they will take your money you wont get any further support ... do not buy.  
(Version 2.8.1)

MREDRUP  The company is effectively gone bust, although you can still buy a lifetime upgrade option I dont know why as it seems all development has ceased. The website just feeds their bank account only.

ERIC @ INTECH SOFTWARE  "Troubleshooting by Anonymous",

Yes, this was a known issue with versions of our software released prior to MacOS 10.4.0. Within a few days after MacOS X 10.4.0 was released, we had this issue solved and free updates were posed on our website (available to both OEM and Retail version holders). To solve your particular problem, download and run the latest QuickBack updater. The update is available here: http://www.speedtools.com/DCX.shtml

ANONYMOUS  My computer, a Mirrored Drive Doors PowerMac did neither shutdown nor reboot under 10.4.2. After trouble shooting this myself I found the culprit --> QuickBackStartupItem

Once I deleted it and therefore the whole SpeedTools stuff, my computer is working fine once again.

The one serious conviction that a man should have is that nothing is to be taken too seriously. So take it easy and solve it :D

ERIC @ INTECH SOFTWARE  Hi Guys,

We are in the process of updating the website and the SpeedTools Manager new update notification now to reflect all the revision changes. However, the 2.3 version download is live now when you login here: https://secure.speedtools.com/intech/support/dl_login.html.

And as of last year, anyone who has misplaced their original Intech online order number can request a new one using the link at the bottom of the login page (link above) at no charge.

Enjoy the new version! (lots of improvements)

ANONYMOUS  I own the retail version and I don't see any version 2.3 available for download. Where did this information come from?  
(Version 2.3)

ANONYMOUS  I hope this version overcomes a compatibility problem with OSX 10.4 (Tiger) which for some Macs (e.g. PowerBooks) didn't allow the computer to shut down on command.  
(Version 2.3)

TROUTNC  I, too, purchased HDST and CDST years ago, and they went the way of OS 9 (for me, anyway) when I moved to X about 3 years ago. IMO that is not intech's fault or responsibility.

Still, were it not for receiving an OEM version of their SpeedTools Utility Suite with firewire drives from OWC, I would not have their software, right now.

And, I'd like to have the full retail version which offers a few more utilities than the OEM version, but I am waiting for an upgrade path from the OEM version, or from HDST if that should occurr.

intech are good guys in my opinion, with good product and fair prices.

ANONYMOUS  This comment is meant specifically for the Media Scanner component.

There really needs to be an "automatic" preference because as it stands now with version 1.1, you have to manually hit the reassign button whenever a bad block is encountered. Then once that happens, a nice little "Reassign Successful" box with an OK button pops up that also needs to be dismissed.

IMHO, this is rather asinine if you are talking about mapping out even a few hundred bad blocks. Now maybe Intech developers have trained monkey's that can hit these all day long but I personally do not have this luxury (lack of space for one plus our building specifically does not allow any pets) and have to go through this process manually on my own.

This seems to be the typical engineer solution as opposed to looking at it from a user friendly/common sense approach (but then again in the real world, common sense isn't so common).  
(Version 2.0)

ANONYMOUS  All this begs the question whether anyone really NEEDS these capabilities, especially at near-$100 a pop. Nevertheless, understanding how to do these operations is worth some money.

Certainly, if you FEEL you need it, and soothing the feeling is worth the price, then OK.
