Does this imply that att unix would not work on on an esdi configuration. I would think that it would since obviously att supports at type drives (ie st506), and I thought that esdi, while using a faster protocall to talk at the disk, looked just like an st506 controller to the machine. Does any one have att sysv r4 running on an esdi system?, am I all wrong about esdi (if so, give me a break it is after all exam time:). -Thanks in Advance -Dave -- DYKES,DAVID PRESTON Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{allegra,amd,hplabs,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!prism!gt3408a ARPA: gt3408a@prism.gatech.edu
