Also the number -> of lines/page seems to be fixed at 66. Lpset is fixed in the latest version (3.0e). As a work around, make a raw devicenode for the printer like /dev/rlp with a major device number of 128 + the major device number of /dev/lp. ->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. There was no support for 3.5" floppies in older releases. It's there and works fine in 3.0e. ->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. That might never work. If the EGA BIOS is write protected or if it uses a banked switching memory scheme then your stuck with CGA or MONO graphics under DOS.
