[comp.os.minix] WD1002-27X and ST238?

dstein@cup.portal.com (08/07/88)

Having spent the last 3 days reformatting 4 hard drives multiple times on
an unrelated matter, I would prefer not to experiment with the following
since I expect someone can answer this easily enough.

I have (currently) the 1.1 disks.  Will Minix correctly install and reliably
operate on a Seagate ST238R (RLL) drive using a Western Dig. 1002-27X
controller, or is a patch necessary to make it work?  (4.77MHz Leading Edge
Model D XT).  If a patch is needed, could someone please be kind enough to
email me the proper files?

Thanks.
