1323.0. "ED for ICD on ST ?" by FRSOLD::EDDF10::ECKEL (No sports.) Fri Oct 16 1992 05:31

    Hello,
    
    I have an ICD Host adapter on my system, and would like to connect a
    SCSI controlled ED (2.88Mb) Floppy drive to it. Does anyone know if
    there are 
    
      1) devices
      2) drivers
    
    available, and what's the cost ? I know there are 2.88Mb floppies
    available for the VAXstation 4000/60. The host adapter didn't make
    trouble connecting to any SCSI Device I tried, so there's a good chance
    it might work.

1323.1Have you tried it yet?PRNSYS::LOMICKAJJeffrey A. LomickaFri Oct 16 1992 15:452
didn't ICD's removable media software just work out of the box?  I would
expect it to.
1323.2Standard Boot sector for ED ?FRSOLD::EDDF10::ECKELNo sports.Thu Oct 22 1992 05:369
    I've had no opportuinity so far to test it, because I still don't have
    a drive to connect to my ICD. But don't you expect the structures a hard
    disk driver writes to a hard disk to be different from those on a standard
    IBM formatted ED floppy ? It'd be fine if there were no difference, but
    I don't know anything about it (Media byte for ED, etc.) Is there any 
    documentation available about the standard IBM boot block for ED's ?
    (Is there a standard available ? :-) )
