I think that some models of the NeXT used flopticals, but the world wasn't ready for them at the time. The NeXT I used to play with had a standard 3-1/2" drive which, as you said, could handle FAT, HFS, and whatever-the- native-NeXT-filesystem-was disks.

Date: 1 Oct 1995 00:39:23 GMT Has anyone made a patch kit for building MH 6.8.3 under linux with the latest ELF development tools and C runtime library? I am having a good amount of difficulty trying to build it myself, stemming from three separate problems: 1. Some parts of MH (ab)use the FILE structure in bad, bad ways (Shame on you, Van Jacobson) 2. The Linux/ELF shared library build process is almost the same as the SVR4 process -- almost. Trying not to kluge this process makes it more difficult. 3. Several random symbol conflicts between MH symbols and new-fangled libc ones. If someone has done this before (and I'd *hope* that someone has, but the only patch kits I've found are a.out-era), could you please point me at diffs or could I get a copy of your source tree? Thanks! -Craig ------------------------------ ** FOR YOUR REFERENCE ** The service address, to which questions about the list itself and requests to be added to or deleted from it should be directed, is: Internet: Linux-Development-System-Request@NEWS-DIGESTS.MIT.EDU You can send mail to the entire list (and comp.os.linux.development.system) via: Internet: Linux-Development-System@NEWS-DIGESTS.MIT.EDU Linux may be obtained via one of these FTP sites: nic.funet.fi pub/OS/Linux tsx-11.mit.edu pub/linux sunsite.unc.edu pub/Linux End of Linux-Development-System Digest ******************************
