The AT boot disk easily mounts filesystems from that MFM controller. UNTIL... I have a second hard disk controller. It is an an Adaptec AHA-1542B SCSI controller. When I have it installed in my system, MINIX hangs when it tries to access the MFM controller. When I boot universal MINIX, I have no problem. But of course this goes through BIOS and that is ugly. Can anyone give me any clues or answers? Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
