Thanks to everyone's suggestions I was able to get minix to read all 1.44Mb
of my 3.5" drives....

It was very simple. The device just needed to be created with the proper
name (PS1), blocksize, and minor device number. Someone referred me to p. 398
(the description of mkfs). I used a prototype file to specify the blocksize.:
dev d--755 2 1
	PS1 b--644 2 1 2 29 1440

Thankyee, Thankyee, Thankyee...
