Has anyone successfully used a SyQuest-based removable cartridge hard disk with A/UX? I am trying to use a MicroNet MR-45 with A/UX, but am having no luck. The drive works fine in the Mac OS, and the MicroNet software even partitions disks for use under A/UX. But when I attempt to access the drive from A/UX (using dp or pname), I get error messages. For example: # dp /dev/rdsk/c3d0s31 Disk write c3d0s31 Error: More data than SCSI device requested generic disk c3d0s31 Retry limit: Logical block 0, physical block 0 /dev/rdsk/c3d0s31: no such device or address (and various other messages). The MicroNet tech support people claim that a handful of installations are actually using their drive with A/UX, but they have no advice on my problem. Any ideas? System info: Mac IIx with A/UX 1.1; drive is SCSI ID 3, daisy-chained to several Apple/Quantum 80SC's. (Yes, /dev/rdsk/c3d0s31 does exist...) ======================================================================= Tim Monroe (415) 655-3959 phlos-ac@violet.berkeley.edu AppleLink: X1526 =======================================================================
