I think you will have to write a disktab entry for the
MO drive. I had
to add one for the Jaz. NS3.3 is pretty good at determining disk
geometry if the drive supports the sense command. Since PM bit the
dust, I'm not sure if there is much documentation out there about the MO
drive. Also keep in mind that the NeXT cube SCSI implementation is
pretty primitive.
Thanks James...I'll try the disktab from your other message.
One question, does the MO drive show up in the
Workspace browser when
you insert a disk? I can't format a Jaz cart from the command prompt
with disk, but I can by selecting it in the GUi and then selecting Disk
Initialize....I don't know why.
Yes, the DOS and Mac formatted disks mount automatically when
the disks are inserted and on one it doesn't recognize it asks if I
want to initialize. It fails initialization from the Workspace just
as it did from the shell. I wasn't sure if NS supported
512bytes/sector or not on the MO.
I'll let you know how the disktab works.
