But this is insane! SCO Xenix/386 2.3 supports more than 1024 cylinders. We sell 1224-cylinder drives to our customers. We intend(ed) to upgrade our customers to SCO Unix eventually; but how can we do so if the drives won't work?! How could they possibly go _backwards_ like this, insisting all the while that SCO Unix is an _improvement_? I hope this is just a nightmare... -- You may redistribute this article only to those who may freely do likewise.
