Can anyone tell me what information one wants in /etc/format.dat, on a Sun under SunOS 4.0, to format a CDC 9720-1230, 1.2 Gigabyte disc? This would be the numbers of heads, cylinders, sectors, and bytes per sector. This is for a friend who wants to use it on a Xylogics 753 controller. -- Michael David Crawford Consulting for: Oddball Enterprises Octel Communications Corp 694 Nobel Drive 890 Tasman Drive Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Milpitas CA 95035 uunet!apple!vsi1!octel!mike CI$ 72377,623 Tilting at Windmills for a Better Tommorrow.
