Our recently upgraded Model 25 PC/RT has two unusable R40 drives. Does
anyone know if it is possible to make them work with a normal PC/XT controller
card?

The 'old' DOS did not support partitions larger than 32M. - Marco Papa USC Advanced Computing Support Center -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Diga and Caligari!" -- Rick Unland -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Several people at work use them that way. -- Nick Simicich --- uunet!bywater!scifi!njs --- njs@ibm.com (Internet)
