Has anyone succeded in running SV/AT on RLL drives ? I assume this would require a new disk driver and some special parameters when doing the initial "mkfs" Has anyone done this ? -- Ken Cornetet | Try nos850!kenc -- or -- 6506 Connie Dr, Louisville, KY 40258 | ...!uunet!coplex!nos850!kenc Home (502) 937-8826 Work 364-5756 |

As I recall, 2.3 (and earlier) did not. >Has anyone done this ? I have been running an Adaptec 2372 with two drives for about 1 1/2 years on this system. -- Bob Willcox ...!{rutgers|ames}!cs.utexas.edu!romp!obiwan!bob Phone: 512 258-4224 (home) 512 823-3585 (work)

I am currently running Microport System V/AT 2.4 on a Western Digital WD1006V-SR2 and Miniscribe 6085. The original controller was a WD1003-WA2 (MFM). All I did was backup the file system, install the new controller, reformat the disk, reinstall UNIX and restore the backups. No software changes were needed. -- John A.
