>From /usr/doc/fdutils/README.gz: : Although most drives support more than 80 tracks some may not, and :repeatedly trying to read beyond track 80 might be damaging to them. :In order to know wether your drive supports more than eighty tracks, :first set the number of allowed tracks to 82. <snip> : N.B. I have yet to see a 3.5" drive which doesn't support 82 tracks. :If you have such a beast, please mail me. So I'm assuming that most drives support this, but the 1.743 format requires 83 tracks, AFAICS. Question then is, does rawrite2 support beyond track 80? -- ----- -- - -------- --------- ---- ------- ----- - - --- -------- Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian GNU/Linux UnixGroup Admin - Jordan Systems Inc.
