[comp.os.minix] Minix with IDE Controllers?

tvf@cci632.UUCP (Tom Frauenhofer) (03/15/91)

The summary says it all.  I've got a 386sx, AT bus, and am curious if
an IDE system would work with at_wini.c.

Thanks in advance.

Yah, works like a charm.  I'm using a Maxtor LXT-200, which by virtue of
it's remapping controller, looks like 15 heads, 689 cylinders, 34 sectors
of MFM drive.  Really, the PC can't tell the difference.  Beware, tho,
cause the 1.5.10 doswrite program has trouble with DOS 4.0 large partitions.
I still can't write more than a 200Kbyte file to the DOS partition.
Good Luck
