I am running a system here (still on 386bsd 0.1.2.4, though :-( with a SyQuest 88MB drive connected to a AHA-1542B. Seems to work just fine. Output from ``disklabel -r'' for the device is as follows: # /dev/rsd1d: type: SCSI disk: syq88 label: SyQuest #1 flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 49 tracks/cylinder: 2 sectors/cylinder: 98 cylinders: 1766 rpm: 3220 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 4 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 173068 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 1765) c: 173068 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1765) d: 173068 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1765) ksh: disklabel: not found -- Bob Willcox ...!{rutgers|ames}!cs.utexas.edu!uudell!obiwan!bob Phone: 512 258-4224 (home) 512 838-3914 (work)
