I've just purchased an older magneto-optical drive that i'd like to use w/
FreeBSD. The drive is a PMO-650, made by Pinnacle Micro. It uses 5 1/4"
double-sided carts (of which i only have one...anybody know where to get
more? =) When my system boots up, this is what is detected:
(ahc0:3:0): "PINNACLE OHD-650 2.40" type 0 removable SCSI 2
sd2(ahc0:3:0): Direct-Access 40MB (576999 73 byte sectors)
I have been unable to access the drive, however. Well, more correctly, i
get the following error:
# fdisk /dev/rsd2
sd2: Can't deal with 73 bytes logical blocks
Debugger("sd") called.
Cannot open disk /dev/rsd2 (Device not configured)
the cart says 512 byte/sector. Also, DOS formats a side as 281 MB, not 40.
So, i have no idea how, or if, i can use this drive! any help would be
appreciated!
