Much to my surprise (;-), 2.4 fixes all the panic problems I had with 2.3. I can now print out a double using sdb without the world coming to an end. I know there is still brain damage there, but my code doesn't seem to fall into it. Anyway, I have a 1.44 drive attached to my clone system as drive B. Does anyone know how to get it to work? Specifically, I need to know the appropriate major/minor numbers for this device which, while documented for drive A, are not documented for drive B. Experimentation produced a zombie on one console. Unrelated -- THe newer Dos Merge also seems much better, but still too flaky for me to use every day, unless I run my machine at 6 megahertz, as opposed to 10. Then everything seems to be alright. Does anyone have a clue as to why the higher speed causes problems, and why it doesn't cause problems with regular System V/AT? Thanks in advance, Robert White p.s. Glad to hear that Microport has been purchased and might now go somewhere. -- Robert C.
