Lakin" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: PMO-650 MO drive help Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello all...i've been trying to get the above drive (from Pinnacle Micro) to be usable under freebsd. It's recognized at bootup, but not quite the way i'd expect - the drive is attributed as having 73 bytes/sector. The drive has worked fine on my PC running DOS, and on my Macintosh and a geometry of 512 bytes/sector is reported also). Also, i'm using (or trying ;) 512-bytes/sector media, which seems to be necessary for most unicies... I had to do some tweaking to get FreeBSD to boot w/ the MO drive powered on - specifically, i had to disable synchronous transfers and disconnecting for the MO's SCSI id. With either (or both) of these enabled, the SCSI controller reports back a bad command (i don't remember the exact wording) from the MO drive, and wont continue. here's my bootup info... (the MO drive is sd3) FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE #0: Sun Jan 12 22:29:59 PST 1997 pharaoh@osiris.purgatory.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/PURGATORY-MO CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x4f4 real memory = 50331648 (49152K bytes) avail memory = 47865856 (46744K bytes) ahc0: at 0x2c00-0x2cff irq 11 on isa ahc0: aic7770 >= Rev E, Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 4 SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ahc0:0:0): "QUANTUM LPS525S 3110" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 501MB (1027548 512 byte sectors) sd0(ahc0:0:0): with 2448 cyls, 6 heads, and an average 69 sectors/track (ahc0:1:0): "SGI SEAGATE ST31230N 0272" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ahc0:1:0): Direct-Access 1010MB (2070235 512 byte sectors) sd1(ahc0:1:0): with 3992 cyls, 5 heads, and an average 103 sectors/track (ahc0:4:0): "SyQuest EZ135S 1_10" type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd2(ahc0:4:0): Direct-Access sd2(ahc0:4:0): NOT READY asc:4,0 sd2(ahc0:4:0): Logical unit not ready, cause not reportable sd2: could not get size 0MB (0 512 byte sectors) sd2(ahc0:4:0): with 3195 cyls, 1 heads, and an average 0 sectors/track (ahc0:5:0): "PINNACLE OHD-650 2.40" type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd3(ahc0:5:0): Direct-Access 40MB (576999 73 byte sectors) sd3(ahc0:5:0): with 281 cyls, 64 heads, and an average 32 sectors/track (ahc0:6:0): "IBM CDRM00203 1.0m" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ahc0:6:0): CD-ROM cd present.[1059300 x 512 byte records] Probing for devices on the ISA bus: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 5 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 9 on isa sio1: type 16550A sio2 at 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 4 on isa sio2: type 16450 sio3 at 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 3 on isa sio3: type 16450 lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f on isa lpt1 at 0x278-0x27f on isa fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fdc0: NEC 72065B fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in 1 3C5x9 board(s) on ISA found at 0x300 ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa ep0: utp[*UTP*] address 00:a0:24:4d:e1:06 npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface sb0: disabled, not probed. --eric lakin
