Hi.. I hope I am not becoming a pain with my various questions.. Since I
asked for opinions on my 2.2.3 install problems, I have also decided to
upgrade to a 20mhz 386 clone. Since I'd like to interchange hardware between the
286 and 386, I decided to go for a 3085 71 meg Miniscribe with a WD1006.
Does anybody know of any existing problems with 286 or 386 Xenix/Unix and the
>1024 Cyl of the 3085, previous postings on the subject seemed to be concerned
with ESDI and not MFM.
Having been bitten recently I would very much appreciate any reports on the
subject. Thanks in advance..
Toby

Both drives are 1024 * 8 * 26.

The disks were formatted with speedstore, installed as type 19 (1024 cyl. 7 heads) and during the XENIX-installation the maxtrack set to 1169.
