In article <304@louie.udel.EDU>, Alun Saunder's writes about problems
running Minix from his hard disk:

I used to have a hard disk controller made by NCL also.  It would not work
with Microport Unix System V when I tried to use it.  I replaced it with a
different clone controller (one based on the Western Digital chips) and my
system worked fine.  

If any of you have hard disk problems and use NCL controllers, I suggest you
try a different controller.
