From: lectro@stein.u.washington.edu (Jonathan Maier) Subject: raw-writing files to disk, any special requirements? Date: 1 Nov 1992 00:38:13 GMT
Hey all,
I've been trying to "rawrite" the SLS disks "a1" and "a2" to 1.2M
formatted 5.25" disks... unsuccessfully :-(Yes, I'm using a HD drive and
HD disks) When you format the disks, do the resulting amounts of byte
storage on each disk have to be exactly equal or just greater than or
equal to the size of the a1 and a2 files? Does track/sector layout
matter? I only had time to try a couple different disks, so I suppose
it is possible that they are just bad disks. BTW, I'm using the older
"more stable" version of "rawrite."
