SUBJECT: NEED HELP WITH COMPAQ HDC. I have a COMPAQ-PLUS xt compatible with a 10 mb hard disk. Using minix 1.2 (compiled with xt_wini.c) the command: dd if=/dev/hd0 of=/dev/null count=1000 (suggested by \user\doc\READ_ME in the distribution) gives 68 blocks read and written followed by errors reading block 34. This seems to suggest a problem going from one cylinder to the next. Does anyone have an idea how to fix the driver. Please send reply to JIM @ CALSTATE.BITNET Thanks, Jeff Sacks (714-772-2517) Anaheim, CA
