Does anyone know anything about the 50meg removable-media Ricoh cartridges? I need to know number of cylinders, sectors per track, and number of heads on the drive/cartridges as my controller (SupraWordsynch) does not directly support Ricoh. The drive is the RH5500. Thanks, Dee

Deidre, GVP's prep software automatically generates the following mountlist entry which it subsequently puts on the RDB. Since my Ricoh works flawlessly ( and has for about a year under heavy use) I'd say its correct! RH0A: Device = gvpscsi.device FileSystem = L:FastfileSystem Unit = 001 Flags = 0 Surfaces = 2 BlocksPerTrack = 37 Reserved = 2 Interleave = 0 LowCyl = 1 HighCyl = 1283 Buffers = 32 GlobVec = -1 BufMemType = 0 Mask = 0xFFFFFFFE MaxTransfer = 0x7FFFFFFF Mount = 1 DosType = 0x444F5301 StackSize = 4000 # wmc
