Kukulies" Subject: SCO vs. FreeBSD floppy formats To: freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com Message-id: <199501140945.KAA06741@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Some time back when I still had a SCO ODT system running I wrote a file to a floppy under SCO which I now wanted to read back under FreeBSD to no avail. I wrote (as a reminder how to extract it back) dd if=/dev/rfd048ds9 upon the label of the floppy. Now I wanted to read it back under FreeBSD using dd if=/dev/rfd0.360 . I also got a file of length 368640 but I cannot read anything useful from it. (It had bin a dump of a .Z file). Any ideas? Are there differences in the formats between the two systems? --Chris Christoph P. U.
