Hello,

I got a Mikropolis disk model "Mikrodisk 1030" 
(Drive type: MICROP 1598-15MD1066701).

How I could attach it to NeXT and say builddisk to it ?
What should I to do ? If you have attached the same kind of disk to NeXT  
or you know how to do it, could you help me. Thank you.

It seems to be formatted and scsimodes says:
	SCSI information for /dev/rsd1a
	Drive type: MICROP 1598-15MD1066701
	512 bytes per sector
	71 sectors per track
	15 tracks per cylinder
	1928 cylinder per volume (including spare cylinders)
	8 spare sectors per cylinder
	45 alternate tracks per volume
	2031553 usable sectors on volume

I have no disktab entry for it.
What kind disktab entry should I build for it ?
Should I do something more ?

As you see I am a novice in these kind of thing.
