It will accept 1200, though, Minix block devices have a size associated with them. fd0 and fd1 are 360K while at0 and at1 are 1.2M. You will need to make a new device file with the same major/minor numbers and a larger size (I don't believe mknod allows you to specify a size; just when the disk is make with mkfs). You'll probably need "ps_wini" and maybe a ps/2 definition in include/minix/config.h to get the ps/2 to go the rest of the way. -- Glen Overby uunet!plains!overby (UUCP) ncoverby@ndsuvax, overby@plains (Bitnet)
