Hi,
This is what I've got:
Olivetti M380/XP5 (20 MHz '386)
Western Digital WD-1007A-WAH ESDI harddisk controller
Micropolis 1558 338 MB harddisk
SCO XENIX 386 2.3.1
Although the harddisk has 1224 cylinders, the machine's CMOS RAM
says it is BIOS-type 31, which has 814 cylinders.
This probarbly is due to the remapping capablities of the WD-1007A-WAH,
in order to handle the 1024 cylinder limit of SCO XENIX. (BTW, how
is this remapping enabled? I don't have any docs about the controller.)
When installing SCO XENIX on this disk, badtrack can't find any
bad tracks scanning the disk. But when I try to manually enter
the (20 or so) defects, badtrack refuses any head/cylinder input
with cylinder > 814.
How should I enter the rest of the defects?
