(Quest for blocks) Message-ID: <58@icus.UUCP> Date: Thu, 26-Nov-87 04:46:44 EST Article-I.D.: icus.58 Posted: Thu Nov 26 04:46:44 1987 Date-Received: Sun, 29-Nov-87 17:47:48 EST Organization: ICUS Computer Group, Islip, NY Lines: 22 Keywords: hard drive, blocks, Microscribe, megabytes Xref: mnetor comp.sys.att:1897 If my AT&T UNIX PC has a Microscribe 6085 hard drive (or sometime similar) why can't I get the full capacity out of it? The Microscribe is a 71.30Mb formatted capacity. I get 62Mb (after 5Mb is allocated for swap) Why can't I get 66.30 (much closer to the 67Mb capacity the machine should have)? Any more news about getting all 9-heads to work? If you get this to work on your UNIX PC how big of a drive could you use? 190Mb? (If you installed the WD2010 controller?)
