I got the thing formatted, and even got the minix kernel image and the floppy disk image written to it. I can even read the stuff back in from the monitor, but when I run minix I get: NS32000 ROM Debugger Version: Tue Jul 03 09:44:00 PDT 1990 RAM free above 0x1554 Command (? for help): read 0 2000 100 Command (? for help): run 2000 Minix 1.3 kernel version: Sat Jul 14 18:47:33 PDT 1990 Pages of user memory: 973 Start user pages: 0x33000 SCSI: timeout SCSI failure, key 0x5, code 0x24, log adr 0x0, sense buf 0xC462 SCSI: timeout SCSI failure, key 0x5, code 0x24, log adr 0x0, sense buf 0xC462 SCSI: timeout SCSI failure, key 0x5, code 0x24, log adr 0x0, sense buf 0xC462 SCSI: timeout SCSI failure, key 0x5, code 0x24, log adr 0x0, sense buf 0xC462 SCSI: timeout SCSI failure, key 0x5, code 0x24, log adr 0x0, sense buf 0xC462 SCSI: timeout SCSI READ, sector 514 failed even after retries Unrecoverable disk error on device 2/2, block 1 I have been able to run minix from a RAM disk, but this seems to be beyond it. In case your wondering, sense key 5 is illegal request or bad parameter in the command descriptor block. Code 24 is illegal field in CDB. Any suggestions, or offers to help???
