Likewise, the UltraStor 12F card has a number of settings to handle drive
types of DOS/OS2/Unix (two or three variants here).
I'd like to try installing Linux on my system (I have both a 340 mb and 676
mb micropolis drive attached to my 486-25 mhz machine). However, I hesitate
to do such just yet, due to what I've seen with Consensys V4 (SVR4).
I'm not sure if Linux' EFS or even the xfs system can handle a *large* number
of inodes; I plan to configure the 676mb drive as a single file system
to handle USENET flow.
