- i have xenix286 2.2.1 running on a 386 PC and have added a 3.5" floppy drive.
- this works fine as a 1.4Mb drive under DOS, but i can't access
- it under xenix- there don't seem to be any standard xenix drivers
- for this device with my (yes it's old but it works fine with 1Mb of RAM)
- xenix OS.
-
- based on recent postings on a similar subject, i tried using mknod
- to create a driver with major/minor device numbers 2/64, (actually,
- 2/65 cuz this is drive 1, not drive 0) and although mknod didn't
- complain, i can't access the drive.
-
- unhappily i have no support agreement with SCO...
- can anyone summarize what i need to do in order access this device
- under this version of xenix286?
-
- thanks in advance...
