Let me know how connecting the PM 1.3gb goes. Getting
the Jaz up
was "fun". I've passed on several PM 1.3gb drives before, if it
works, it might be fun getting one next time. I have just installed
a Pinnacle Micro CDR drive on my #1 cube. I'm going to try burning
a few "coasters" on the cube. I'll let you know how it goes.
I plugged the Pinnacle Sierra up to the Cube and it mounted
both DOS and Mac formatted disk without a problem and I was able to
read files and such off of them easily. So far attampts at
initializing them have failed though, even using 'disk -i /dev/rsd1a'
to try to initialize the raw device. The system retrieves all of the
info but errors out, making the disk unreadable. All of my 3M disks
are 512bytes/sector vice 1024...could this be a problem for NeXTstep?
I didn't have to modify the disktab file for it to recognize the
drive/media.
