I run a Xenix system at home with a Priam V185 70 MB hard disk which for thos not in the know has 1166 cylinders. My Xenix is an 80286 version 2.2.1 and when starting the system up from scratch I told xenix that I had a hard disk with 1166 cylinders. Xenix proceeded to format the total 1166 cylinders without a worry in the world. I am using the standard WD 1006V-MM2 controller and the setup is working fine Regards, Mark Gregson
