I was just gonna ask why we have comp.unix.xenix.sco when that's the
only Xenix anybody remembers nowadays.
I have been running an 1177 cylinder disk under Xenix for years now,
no problem, first with a DTC7287 controller, and now with a
WD1006VSR2.
I think the WD is not making my floppy interface happy: it locks
the system under Xenix when simultaneous floppy and hard disk
activity occurs while the system is set to full speed. :(
Udderwise, it works fine with > 1024 cylinders, despite SCO's
protestations to the contrary.
