The above would read better as:
Using the Mac app "MakeFs" the Zip drive came up mostly with
Zeroes in key areas. Blank spots I left blank. The following values
I used to replace the zeroes:
Sector Size 512
Sectors/Track 38
Track/Cylinder 4
Num Cylinders 1120
remember, these were values I took from looking at my 80 meg disk and
probably aren't optimum.
And when I asked for an explanation of setting up the 80 meg
drive as the boot disk but having it look for Xwindows on the Zip
I meant I wanted to know the commands and keystrokes, remember,
I'm a Tuba player:) If its inapropriate to ask that, I'm sorry,
I'm just zealous. I'll get some books shortly.
Take care,
The bearded Tubist, son of Ginger and Harry, Aaron Rosenzweig.
