hmm, i just found an old full-height 3.5" 80MB disk drive in my mac II...i
was going to mount it as /usr/src
i remember, last year, i bought a drive (and ended up returning it because
of no luck with NetBSD) that looked physically the same, except was 420MB,
and i had problems with the drive not resetting fast enough when NetBSD
tried to check it out upon bootup...is this something the SBC driver is
supposed to fix? i'll give it a whirl :-)
i just thought of this because my 270MB drives are also called Prodrives,
but they are half height, and appear to be newer models.
thanks,
