Well, if the way we have our new Emulex configured is really an "rm02",
then all you need to do is pretend it's an RM03 or RM05 with a different
size & number of sectors per track. It wasn't hard to change the 4.1
driver for a new 48sec/trk drive [the ``hard'' part for us was setting
thing up so that we could keep our RP06s as NOBADSECT disks while still
using the bad sector forwarding code for our RM02s; I made it a config
file option].

A friend of mine has just brought up System III on an 11/44. One of
the peripherals on the system is a CDC 9730 disk drive with a Plessy
PM-DC02A controller. The literature accompanying the disk claims that the
configuration looks like a pair of RM02s, but System III doesn't seem
to include a suitable driver. Does anybody have a driver that might
be suitable?
Thanks,
