I have a Maxtor LXT200S on the SCED scsi bus of a s27 running PTX.
This is a 3.5" SCSI-2 device on a SCSI-1 bus.
The drive is available through the 'p' engineering partition only.
While the OS does not seem to use any Volume Table Of Contents (VTOC)
information I put on the drive, I can still use all 200 Mb as a single
filesystem.

Anyone know why I can't put a VTOC on this drive?
