Pfutz, it was an RQDX3. Oh, well, mfmtoyz on this one.
I have a couple of 85mb fujitsu mfm drives at home, 2443 or something
like that. Can those be used if needed? I can get the drive parms
for them, so can plug them into the formatter, IFF it will accept
them.
Anything strange I need to know about resurrecting mfm drives on
the RQDX3? I would suppose a clean format might be appropriate.
Which version of NetBSD works best with the RQDX3?
Which version of Ultrix works best with the RQDX3?
Thanks
Bob
