The Adaptec 2070A works well with Minix 1.2 in my Zenith Z-151.  I got it to
work by applying the Zenith xt_wini.c mods posted ages ago and changing the
constant that refers to the number of sectors per track from 17 to 25 in
xt_wini.c and in the standalone fsck.  I suspect the Zenith mods
were unnecessary, as the 2070A is not a Zenith product, but I'm not
going to change it if it works!

Email me if you want the source code;  if there is sufficient interest,
I'll post to the net.
