I have an ESDI drive (CDC) on my 386 AT. I bought microport UN*X, but I heard that they don't have any support for the ESDI conrtroller. Does anybody out there have a driver for it. Thanks in advance. Narayan Mohanram

Well, uPort likes my CDC Wren III-182 ESDI just fine... You neglected to mention which controller you're using. A controller such as the WD1007/WA2 (probably your best choice), which can map the drive into a 17sec/trk drive at the REGISTER level, will work. A controller that can't do this, such as the WD1005, will cause kernel death. -- James R.
