vpix and the a: drive...

[neal at mnopltd.UUCP]

->has anyone out there successfully installed vpix on a xenix (or unix)
->machine?  I have installed sco vpix 1.2 on xenix 2.3.3 386 and
->cannot seem to get it to access either the first floppy drive (so I
->can't install any software) or the first (primary) dos partition on
->the second physical harddisk.  under xenix, the floppy works as
->/dev/rfd096ds15; a standard 1.2 M 5 1/4.  the second hard drive
->is /dev/rdsk/1s0.  I've tried everything but the correct answer in
->vpix.cnf, but even when a: is set to rfd096ds15, which works in
->xenix, vpix doesn't even TRY to access the drive before a drive
->not ready error.

->Has anyone got this to work? 

Yuppers. 

I seem to remember some mumbo jumbo about sometimes having to open and
shut the door the very first time. 

This is what I have
