Date: Sun 06-Jun-1989 14:06:30 From: Unknown Subject: CONNECTTING SCSI DRIVES TO NeXT Can some one out there help?. I am getting a NEWBERRY 380M byte drive (model NDR4380s). and would like to connect it to the cube. I have seen some posting of folks connecting drives to the cube. Would these folks step out and lend a hand. I know that I will have to add an entry in the disktab file, but I don't know what some of the abbrevations mean, like "ng , gs, ga, fp, bp ,z0, and most of the rest. which entrys are a must, which can I guess on, which can I leave out. Is there any other files I have to modify? Can I use the builddisk utility to then build the hard disk? What is DEV_BSIZE? as you can see I need REAL HELP, But this dive was a real deal only $1399.00 The newberry disk is a scsi full height internal drive (19ms access) and has: num. cylinder = 1224 num. tracks = 15 num. sectors = 35 sector size = 512 If you need more details I can give them to you in a day or two, thats when I should have the docs. and the drive. please e-mail, post, or call THANKSSSSSSS! jami 312- 981-3258 days. >From: ali@polya.Stanford.EDU (Ali T.
