Hi.. I hope I am not becoming a pain with my various questions.. Since I asked for opinions on my 2.2.3 install problems, I have also decided to upgrade to a 20mhz 386 clone. Since I'd like to interchange various hardware between the 286 and 386, I decided to go for a 3085 71 meg Miniscribe with a WD1006 controller. Since the 3085 has over 1024 Cyl, does anybody know of any existing problems with 286 or 386 Xenix/Unix. We are still talking MFM here, so past postings on the subject of ESDI >1024 may not apply. Having been bitten lately.. I'd welcome reports on the subject. Thanks in advance.. Toby -- Toby A David Big Electric Cat Public UNIX ..!cmcl2!{ccnysci,cucard,hombre}!dasys1!hadji

I'm running a 6085 on one of these machines with the WD1006-SR2 (1:1 RLL) under SCO 2.3.2 without problems. How many cylinders on the 3085?
