Has anyone been able to get a 7300 to use floppies in double-density mode? As it is, they can only store a little over 300K. I tried 1. changing the file /usr/lib/iv/FDnl, the file used by the floppy formatting program iv, by changing a line that said 'singledensity' to one that said 'doubledensity', but iv did not recognize the new command word. 2. deleting the line that says 'singledensity'. in this case, the floppy is formatted with no complaints, but mount will not mount it (saying 'no such device', I believe), so I can't use it. Is it possible that 'mount' checks the disk and only recognizes single-density ones? Any ideas? -- Michael Richmond Princeton University, Astrophysics {allegra,akgua,burl,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,noao,princeton,vax135}!astrovax!richmon
