I am trying to get MINIX up on line for several campus AT's and ran into ESDI drives. Does anyone out there in MINIX-LAND have a driver? If not, how about reference material on the controller interface (if I get one written, I will repost). Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, there are some procedures (out_word and in_word I believe) that it uses that are not in 1.5.10 . What you need to do is to look through the klib88.x cdiffs and find there defininitions and plug them into your klib.x (you will need to change the !'s to |'s where used as comment characters). Hope this helps Bruce

I believe the ESDI driver in 1.6 is for PS/2s. I think a comment in the source says it won't work on ATs, which is what the poster asked about. -- Bruce -- Bruce Bauman email: boot@osf.org phone: 617-621-7205 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA, 02142
