Thanks for your help. I now see hopes. :)
I executed the following commands:
#insmod parport
#insmod paride
#insmod on26
#insmod pd
Castlewood drive was actually recognized as I can see in
printout from dmesg. I then ran the script "mkd" from copied
from www.torque.net.
However, I can't mount the drive by "mount -t vfat /dev/pda
/mnt/orb". It reported "mount:wrong fs type, bad option, bad
superblock on /dev/pda, or too many mounted file systems). In
dmesg output, additional info said "VFS: Can't find a valid
MSDOS filesystem on dev 2d:00".
I've tried two Orb disks and verified that they both work under
Windows 95. Did I miss some other commands?
Thanks a lot,
Chang Liu
