I used Silverlining 5.25/11 to init- ialise a 300 Meg SCSI Drive. I set the partitions for 100 M of Macintosh, 210 Meg total of A/UX. I am not sure whether this is a problem in the driver that Silverlining uses or whether A/UX is accessing SCSI devices in a strange way. ANY responses would be appreciated.
