You may need to do some touchup there as well. As you seem to have used these 2.88 drives before: do I need to do something special when I install a 2.88 into a PC? I set the BIOS setup to 2.88 and hooked up the drive. I'm using WinNT (I know...) to check if the drives are OK in the first place. Does one need a special cable maybe? Reason for asking: on neither of the 2 drives WinNT wants for format. Rather it does 1E6 retries (judging from the sound the drive makes). This is on new 2.88Mb media Wilko -- | / o / / _ Arnhem, The Netherlands - Powered by FreeBSD - |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte WWW : http://www.tcja.nl http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
