Thanks to all who responded to my previous question regarding seek
rates. It's funny some folks sent me patches to fix it, others stated that
it already was using buffered seek.
Now I've got another hard disk quest. I recently aquired a controller
for a bournelli box. I've been told in the past that these are actually
SCSI controllers, but diskutil only lets you specify a 10 or 20 meg
device. I've also heard Bob Snapp has gotten large SCSI drives to work on
the 6000 by making some patches to diskutil and z80ctl. The last time I
talked to him on the phone he wanted $1600 for the software alone and then
it wouldn't work with 3.02.xx at that, so aside from the price being way
out of my range I don't want to go back to an earlier release of Xenix.
Does anybody here know, and would be willing to share without a $1600
incentive, the secrets to running larger SCSI drives on a Tandy 6000?
