Lewis) Newsgroups: comp.os.minix Subject: RLL controller Message-ID: <1839@unocss.UUCP> Date: 26 Sep 89 04:34:30 GMT Organization: U. of Nebraska at Omaha Lines: 22 I recently acquired a CompuAdd Turbo PC (10 MHz 8088 - a sweepstakes prize) and added a miniscribe 30 MB HD to it. Minix comes up on the floppy, no problem, but when I check the HD partition, I get a "bad magic number' in the superblock. Huh? The controller is a WD1004-27X. The disk works fine under MS-DOS 4.0, and the larger partition is all DOS. I have a 6 Mb partition set aside for Minix, since it is virtually unusable (only virtually) with only one floppy. I have not followed this group very closely, other than a few dumb questions about Tandy machines, since my other machine is MS-DOS but not PC-DOS compatible, and I never expected to have a "PC". So what is this magic number, and what do I do about it?
