We had several RM05's on kicki back in those days. Things needed:
* Include drive geometry etc. in driver tables.
* Make sure the controller in the drive (same HW as RM03 if I remember
correctly, but sitting in a separate cabinet beside the drive) has
the appropriate jumper installed in the backplane to enable 18-bit
mode.
* Format the pack in 18-bit mode. We did that with a user-mode program
using the write-data-and-headers I/O function. I have the source to
that (short) program somewhere.
Support? Don't think so...
