SUBJECT:  NEED HELP WITH COMPAQ HDC.

I have a COMPAQ-PLUS xt compatible with a 10 mb hard disk.
Using minix 1.2 (compiled with xt_wini.c) the command:
dd if=/dev/hd0 of=/dev/null count=1000
(suggested by \user\doc\READ_ME in the distribution)
gives 68 blocks read and written followed by
errors reading block 34. This seems to suggest a problem
going from one cylinder to the next.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix the driver.

Please send reply to JIM @ CALSTATE.BITNET

Thanks,
