I have an iBook (Family #M2453) running OS9 with MAC OS ROM 3.1.1.
The hard drive reports as a Toshiba MK3211MAT and the driver version is

That's one of the broken versions of the quik source; it won't work at
all (tries to open /dev/sda0 all the time). Cort has a 2.0-0c

patches back to Cort.

Some changes have been made in the code, like new typedef, etc... these
