smartmontools contains utility programs (smartctl, smartd) to control/monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI disks. It is derived from smartsuite.

TTF-GDOS is a GDOS replacement that uses true type fonts as well as gem fonts. It is small, fast & efficient and can easily be used without a hard drive. It also incorporates features roughly equivalent to font-GDOS: - a caching system so you can use more fonts for a given amount of memory, - built in bezier functions This release includes ttf2gem, a utility program that creates accurate gem fonts from a true type font (new for 2.3) Using true type fonts gives you 3 big benefits: - you can choose from a vast range of true type fonts - true type fonts are scalable so you can have almost any size font you want - true type fonts need much less disk storage than typical gem printer fonts, so even on a low spec machine you can use lots of fonts. ...

VaporCD can create a copy of a CD on your hard disk and mount it as if it were the real CD. VaporCD works with Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000.

Modern rotational hard disks have a misfeature involving the regular automatic unloading of the heads, measurable by the SMART attribute "Load_Cycle_Count", that causes latency on wake-up, and while the manufacturers sell this as "green", it is believed to cause reduced hard disk life. The parkverbot daemon will periodically issue small read requests in order to keep the hardware from going to its head-unloaded idle state.

APMtimer provides a Linux/Unix utility that can permanently Disable, Get, or Set the value of the APM timer found in recent Western Digital 2.5 WD*PVX Hard Disks where the APM setting defaults to 0x60 after a power cycle.

This device driver implements KMDF based virtual bus driver and generic virtual disk hosted on it. Users can add virtual disks to Windows OS which are then seen and managed by OS as generic, regular disks. Virtual disks are plug in/out with cmdln utility

This linux/unix utility can be used to remove or set the infamous idle3 timer found on recent Western Digital Hard Disk Drives.

A small application that allows the user to control JACK transport via Midi Machine Control (MMC) commands. MMC is a common protocol sent by hard disk recorders and midi control pads to let other devices or programs know where you are in a track.

By usage of CPUFreq, ACPI, HDDTemp and internal functions, LACH daemon is able to reduce power consuption in a laptop by scaling both CPU as GPU (Radeon only), as HDD. Also checks for thermal overheat for the sake of laptop health.

This project is aimed at making a generic hard disk manager which can work on any type of hard disk irrespective of its company and make. It should provide all the basic functions of a DM like low level format, zero fill etc.

A very small utility to switch the active cdrom in a changer drive. works with n-many disk changers, where n > 1.
