I am having a problem using MINIX 1.2 with my Segate ST225 and Western
Digital WX-GEN controller. I have the updated xt_wini.c for v1.2 with
the Western Digital patches. The low-level format in the ROM says the
following:
WX2 Format Revision 7.0 (c) Copyright Western Digital Corp. 1985
which makes me think it should work. However, when I try the dd command
suggested in USER_GUIDE (a.k.a. READ_ME) I get the error
Unrecoverable disk error on device 3/0, block 34
dd: read error
68+0 records in
68+0 records out
If I make a file system that is smaller than 30 blocks, it works fine.
Does anyone else have a similar controller and a working version of
xt_wini.c that they could mail me? I am using an AT&T 6300 on which MINIX
works fine except for this hard disk problem. I am also upgrading to
v1.3d, but have yet tried it on my disk (it is very difficult to upgrade
without a hard disk.
Thanks very much to anyone who can help!!!
