[comp.os.minix] More on WD-27X/ST-238

clark@ttidca.TTI.COM (Ralph Clark) (09/01/88)

If anyone is still having trouble with this combination of controller and
disk, I just discovered another variable you can tweak. A current article
in comp.sys.ibm.pc, entitled "More on Spinwrite", mentions that there is
a jumper on the WD-27X to switch between looking like MFM or RLL. I take
this to mean that the jumper causes the presentation to the computer to
appear as either 17 sectors per track, or 26 sectors per track. So, if
one setting in xt_wini.c doesn't work, try the other.
