[comp.sys.amiga] StarDrive suggestion

jdow@gryphon.COM (J. Dow) (12/06/88)

I would like to take a moment of network time to suggest something to owners
of the Microbotics StarDrive. There is a new version of the device driver in 
the mill. It will read the new scsi autoboot working group's RigidDiskBlock
format that allows automounting of partitions. In order to facilitate this
on the next time you format the drive or do a complete restore from backup
modify the mountlist parameter for the partition first on the disk. Fix the
LowCyl = 0 so that it says LowCyl = 1. This will reserve the first cylinder
for the RigidDiskBlock information. (I recommend that you reserve two or
more cylinders if you have fewer than about 60 sectors per cylinder.)

Perhaps it were best it remain there in the bush with the other one.
