Here are some questions about my microport system V/386:

I'm working with the uport software for about a year now and
generaly speaking i'm still very pleased with it.
However there are a few problems I still can't solve:

1) There seems to be no way to get printer control code's
   to the /dev/lp device driver. Also the number
   of lines/page seems to be fixed at 66.
   (No lpset won't work - get : Attempting to enter debugger,
                                with no db module configured. )

2) The 3 1/2 inch floppy drive (720 kB) is not working.
   (It works fine when I boot msdos however).
   With Unix: $ format /dev/rdsk/f0q9dt I get: Unkown minor dev. no 48 
   (The f0d9dt (360 kB) driver works fine!)
   So for the time being I've connected a 5 1/4 drive.

3) With the dosmerge package I'm not able to create an EGA image
   with the dosadmin command, on my TOP SEGA 800 (from TAXAN) card.
   I get:  ega image build process failed.

Is there someone out there who experienced the same problems, and have
found a solution for it?
I would be very pleased to here from you. (Preferably by E-mail)
