Hello All!
I have just purchased a used UNIX PC (1MB RAM, 40MB Hard Disk, Unix 3.51),
and wonder if someone could answer a few questions for me.
1. How can I access the "window" icon without a mouse, to switch between
different login sessions without going through the user agent?
2. I looked at Emmet Grey's MTOOLS and notice that these programs use
device names "/dev/rflp", "/dev/rflp40t8s1s", "/dev/rflp40t9s2s", etc.
Can I just "mknod" these devices, and what would be the major/minor
device numbers for them?
3. I have lots of source code on 360K diskettes written on my old
Microport/AT system -- cpio format, on 40 track, 9 sector diskettes.
Can my UNIX PC read these, and if so, what is the device I need to use?
4. Will the stock disk driver handle a high density floppy drive, or a
3.5" floppy drive, and if so, how?
5. Is there a way to connect more than one floppy disk, and more than one
hard disk, to this machine?
6. Is there a QIC-II interface for this machine?
Please mail your replies to killer!doulos!wnp or killer!wnp, or post them
to this group if you judge them of sufficient interest for others.
