I connected a Fujitsu DynaMO640 driver to my DEC Alpha 500/500
workstation. Set the MO unit as "disk driver" and not as "optical
driver" I am now able to read and write without problems MO disk
up to 230 Mb of capacity.
However, trying to mount 640 Mb MO disks, they are seen by the
workstation as 158 Mb disks.
Fujitsu said me that this behaviour depends on the format of the
MO disks. Up to 540 Mb the MO disks are formatted to 512 bytes/
sector while the 640 MO disks are formatted to 2048 bytes/sector.
Does it exists a procedure to follow in order to use also the
640 Mb MO disks ? Is it possible, for example, to add a new entry
in /etc/disktab file using the DEC RWZ21 entry, modifiying the
"se" value and all the others if necessary ?
Please, could you help me ?
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
Sincerely yours
