Hello, a friend of mine made a couple postings for me about hard disk problems
I have been having with Minix.  I have an 80M Quantum drive (SCSI), and
although I am as dumb as an ox when it comes to hardware, I believe there
is a UIO adapter that controls the disk.  When I try the command:
  dd if=/dev/hd0 of=/dev/null count=1000
suggested in the USER_GUIDE, I get a read error.  If someone has a driver
that would work with this thing, please mail it to me.  With 1 1.2 meg
and 1 1.44 meg (of which only 1.2M is accessable) I should be able to
recompile and get it working with the hard drive.

Thanks in advance.  My address is: mml@m-net.ann-arbor.mi.us
