Keywords: Han Kanji Katakana Hirugana ISO10646 Unicode Codepages Message-ID: <1993Jan8.163453.6805@cs.wisc.edu> Date: 8 Jan 93 16:34:53 GMT Sender: news@cs.wisc.edu (The News) Organization: University of Wisconsin-Madison CS Dept Lines: 19 Has anyone used a 2.8 Meg floppy drive with 386bsd? I'm considering getting one. Although the media isn't cost-effective right now, I'm hoping that it will eventually drop in price. Does anyone know what kind of controller interface is required for these 2.8M drives? I've seen some controllers advertised as "2.8 Meg compatible". Does that mean most controllers are incompatible with the 2.8M drives? Anyone know specifically whether an Adaptec 1742 or a Bustek 742 will work with them? Any information is appreciated.
