Message-ID: <1666@naucse.UUCP> Date: 28 Aug 89 18:23:20 GMT Organization: Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ Lines: 12 Sigh. I had forgotten that iv cann't be used to change the VHB on a drive with >1024 cylinders. Is there another (easy) way to change the step-rate on such a drive? Will the extended diagnostics let me do it without munging the existing file system? I suppose I could open /dev/rfp010 and read in the VHB myself, but I don't have a layout of the VHB. (Since the step-rate change only takes effect on reboots, this would work, wouldn't it?) -- Steve Wampler {....!arizona!naucse!sbw}
