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.) -- Sometimes a bird in the hand leaves a sticky deposit. Perhaps it were best it remain there in the bush with the other one. {@_@} jdow@bix (where else?) Sometimes the dragon wins. Sometimes jdow@gryphon.CTS.COM the knight. Does the fair maiden ever {backbone}!gryphon!jdow win? Surely both the knight and dragon stink. Maybe the maiden should suicide? Better yet - she should get an Amiga and quit playing with dragons and knights.
