[unix-pc.general] Hard Drive info?

lenny@icus.UUCP (Lenny Tropiano) (11/26/87)

If my AT&T UNIX PC has a Microscribe 6085 hard drive (or sometime similar)
why can't I get the full capacity out of it?  The Microscribe is a 71.30Mb
formatted capacity.  I get 62Mb (after 5Mb is allocated for swap)  Why can't
I get 66.30 (much closer to the 67Mb capacity the machine should have)?

Any more news about getting all 9-heads to work?  If you get this to work
on your UNIX PC how big of a drive could you use?  190Mb?  (If you installed
the WD2010 controller?)

						Thanks,
						Lenny
