You should probably make your /dd reflect whichever disk you want it to be.
Normally for a two drive system that would make /dd be the same as /d0 so that
would be 40 track ds.  No you do not need /d2 unless you have three separate
drives.  You can build your own 80 track drive by editing an existing
descriptor to fit (the number of tracks becomes whatever 80 is in hex) and also
setting the track density to 96 per inch.  Read through the system manual.  If
you have trouble I can give you a typical - seems to mee that there was an 80
track descriptor - no I apologize - that came with my SARDIS no halt
controller. One elast thing - after doing an XMODE to change the baud rate you
will need to do a COBBLER to write out the bootfile in its new flavour.  Then
the speed will stay as you have set it. Easy yes? Bob.
