[comp.os.minix] Need Help on installing minix 1.2 at_wini on DTC RLL controller

Hi -
	I am kind of lost in trying to figure out where to hardcode the
	parameters in at_wini.c. I have a DTC5287 RLL controller, and
	the following parameters in the boot block: bytes per sector 512,
	sectors per allocation unit: 4, sectors per
	track: 26, number of heads: 5. In source code there is a field 
	in the wini for max steprate... what's that?  If anybody has gotten
	the DTC5287 to work, I would appreciate any info on how you modified
	the at_wini.c. I am planning on using partition #2, and set up 10
	meg for it starting at cylinder 320 for 160 cylinders. 

	I have bios_wini.c, but I would like to figure out how to use the
	at_wini first to see if I can get that to work... thanks!

	The problem I am having is that MINIX fdisk will not read the partition
	table correctly, while the test in /usr/doc/READ_ME (dd if= ...)
	returns no errors.

	Thanks,

	Bruce
