Lines: 19 Sorry if this seems like excessive tenderfootedness. But I need some free support. In return I give lots of enthusiastic appreciation :-) OK, here it is: I recently plopped a new 3.5" floppy into our xenix machine as "drive b:". My thought was to make an incremental improvement in doing backups. The darned thing doesn't work under Xenix. It works OK when I boot under MS-DOS. But I seem to be missing something such as /dev/fd1135ds9 and /dev/fd1135ds18. I'm trying to beat the tar :-) out of my distribution floppies to see if it's included there. If I find it I'll try to pull it over by brute force. If I don't find it I guess I'm stuck. Anybody care to comment on my situation and hint to me what might lay ont he road ahead?
