That would explain the situation. :) But with the new proliferance of floppy-based tape devices (IDE too, but I won't go there..), wouldn't it be wise for *someone* to try and keep it just a little up to date? I am going to try (cross fingers) my best to add some tape geometries to that table (gonna have to read the source to find out what all those fields are, i guess.. unless someone is kind enough to tell me) and test them out. Would there be any problems with someone submitting the changes if I do so? --- Chris Dillon --- cdillon@tri-lakes.net --- Powered by FreeBSD, the best free OS on the planet ---- (http://www.freebsd.org)
