My thanks to all those who responded to my request for help in getting FFS to work with my Pacific Peripherals Overdrive & ST157 Seagate disk. I received several suggestions on what sort of mountlist entry to use. After some experimentation, I find that the following mountlist entry (for a partition called dh1:) seems to work OK. So I'm posting it here, just in case other people have encountered similar problems. Note that the MaxTransfer parameter value of 4096 is higher than what I was advised to use. So if you encounter problems, try setting it even lower. Note also that the LowCyl and HighCyl values are specific to the partition I'm defining; your values may be different: DH1: Device = overdrive.device Unit = 1 Flags = 0 Surfaces = 6 BlocksPerTrack = 26 Reserved = 2 Interleave = 0 LowCyl = 57 ; HighCyl = 607 Buffers = 5 BufMemType = 2 MaxTransfer = 4096 GlobVec = -1 FileSystem = L:FastFileSystem Mount = 1 DosType = 0x444F5301 Mask = 0x7FFFF # Steven Litvintchouk MITRE Corporation Burlington Road Bedford, MA 01730 Fone: (617)271-7753 ARPA: sdl@mitre-bedford.arpa UUCP: ...{cbosgd,decvax,genrad,ll-xn,mit-eddie,philabs,utzoo}!linus!sdl "Those who will be able to conquer software will be able to conquer the world." -- Tadahiro Sekimoto, president, NEC Corp.
