[comp.unix.microport] Non-standard Hard Drives with System V/AT ???

wnp@dcs.UUCP (Wolf N. Paul) (12/12/88)

Can anyone tell me how the support for non-standard hard disk types
(i.e. head/cylinder configurations which are not in the ROM table)
works for System V/AT?

The 2.3 and later Release notes indicate that there is such support,
but I cannot find out any more detail about it.

I am thinking about using a removable hard disk (5 MB, 306 cyl., 2 heads)
with my system, but unfortunately it is not contained in my ROM table.

Thanks in advance for any help!
