Help !!!!
Does anyody have a ESDI driver for MINIX ?
I'd write one myself but I can't find the technical info anywhere
I have a Compudyne 33mhz 386 with a Conner 80meg and a Ultrastor 12f ESDI
controller. I can boot using the BIOS driver, but cannot use more than 640k
when I do (I have 2megs of ram). When I boot using the at or xt boot disk,
I can get at the ram, but not the hark disk; quite a predicament. Also
I occasionally get the message "File is busy" when I try to bring up new
(not yet in existance) files in elvis!!! And what's this I here about a
real 386 version ? If someone could even get me some technical info on
ESDI interfaces, it would be great (yes I already looked in the library, and
the local tech book store). I hope I'm not cluttering up the airwaves with
useless drivel, but I figure I can't be doing worse than those people who
posted a zillion messages about parts 1 & 2 of oragami.
Thanks
