Well, here I go again... I just bought an 80MB ST296N for my pc532. I
plugged it in, and can read the disk, but only with small reads (about
10 blocks or less). It can SOMETIMES make a read with about 10 to 15
blocks after a few failures... Here is a (short) transcript of what
happens. My copy of ANSI X3.131-1986 should arrive in the next few days,
but I wonder if that will help much. Does anyone have a phone number
for Seagate, so I can order the product/technical/OEM manual for the
thing. The ONLY number that came with the disk is a "do-it-yourself'ers"
900 number (1st minute free $2.00/minute after) and a little booklet
telling me how to install a 3.5 or 5.25 MFM/RLL/SCSI drive into a
PC-XT/AT/Clone. I really don't want to risk $20 on some machine recording
just to get a phone number to call to order a real manual...

Any takers? > Please? Someone save me? How much? Any offers yet? How 'bout trading a 532 designer's kit, minus CPU, for your FPU and ICU? It's in a PS/2 cabinet and is completely populated (as far as that goes), including the bipolar RAM. (I stole the 532 for my PC-532. Before that it worked fine.) You can plug your 532 in it and be up and running. It's not a PC-532, though. > -- > David L.

Well, I finally got some usable manuals for my disk. I got the thing
formatted, and even got the minix kernel image and the floppy disk
image written to it. I can even read the stuff back in from the
monitor, but when I run minix I get:

I have been able to run minix from a RAM disk, but this seems to be
beyond it. In case your wondering, sense key 5 is illegal request or
bad parameter in the command descriptor block. Code 24 is illegal
field in CDB. Any suggestions, or offers to help??? Thanks in advance,
