Has anyone been successful in using a WD1007V-SE2 controller and an Imprimis 94196-766 ESDI drive with Xenix 386 Release 2.3.2? This drive has 1632 cylinders, 15 heads, and 54 sectors per track, for a total of 766 megabytes unformatted. It seems to install and work just fine, but whenever /bin/sort is run it gives the error message: allocation error before sort. Using the -z option doesn't help. The same hardware except for the use of a 182 megabyte drive and the same HD controller in translation mode worked without a hitch. Help!
