I ran into LOTS of problems with my ST-238 under MINIX 1.1 - I just
finished upgrading to 1.2 last weekend and the only fix/modification I
needed was to wini.c (the NR_SECTORS needs to be changed to reflect the
number of sectors per track for RLL - 25 (decimal) instead of 17).
Also, using the 1.2 version of mkfs worked ALOT better - now if I could
just get a 1.2 version fsck.c I'd be all set - the .dif file I have
barfs out when I try to apply it).
