[comp.unix.xenix] Seagate 4096 on AT Xenix

neal@mnopltd.UUCP (12/12/89)

& I read in an article in comp.sys.ibm.pc that an ST4096 isn't a supported
& by the IBM-AT bios, so certain disk activities (such as disk optimization) can
& be flakey.  If there is no BIOS support for the ST4096, how can I use a ST4096
& with Xenix/286?  This is very important, so _ANY_ suggestions will be more than
& welcome.

Relax.  I ran such a beast for two years.   The SCO install lets you specify
"non standard" drives.  Just key in the disk geometry of the 4096 (you did save
your data sheet didn't you...) and you can pound bits with the best of us.  
(although a mite slower)
