Hi,I have a sony MO scsi drive and have 3M disks that say
1024 on them. I have formatted them on an NT machine as FAT and can read
them ok on the NT machine. My linux (Suse 5.2 with kernel 2.0.31) sees
it but can't access the file system (bad block errors wrong sector size
.. this is from memory so excuse the incorrect words !!). I did make an
ext2 filesystem on the disk and can mount that and use it, but I need to
really access the FAT disks. What filesystem do you have? How do you
tell whether the sectorsize is 1024 or 2048 ??
To be able to access disks with 2048 sector size, you need to use a patch
for your kernel or a 2.2.x kernel:
http://www.erlangen.netsurf.de/linux-mo/
The kernel reports the sectorsize, use dmesg to see the messages.

Subject: graphics card problem
Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 03:53:50 -0400
Hello,
I'm having a real problem with my paradise pipeline 64 graphics card, WD
9710 chipset and Xwindows. I'm running a cyrix 686 p150+, 32m ram, 2mb
graphics card as above,
and an antiquated IBM monitor that I have no way of telling the specs
for, so I used the generic refresh rates.
My problem is this that when I start any graphics intensive app
(netscape...) all my color maps go haywire and can't allocate sufficient
colors.
Is there any sort of driver support for my graphics card?
Also, I don't seem to be able to run MakeCard for some reason...
Not to mention, SuperProbe returned my card as a generic vga or unknown
svga
I hope I've not bombarded you with too much.
Tks ever so much for any help that you may be able to provide
Chris

I would guess that you are not able to access the CD-Rom from your Dos Prompt.
What you need to do is to make a boot floppy for your Windows Machine (Dos boot
floppy) and either install MSCDEX.EXE onto the machine or Boot from the Floppy
and have MSCDEX.EXE configured on the floppy. I am sorry that I can't help you
more but I have long since given up the MS world.
