Hello all,
Believe it or not, I couldn't find this on google, so I humbly submit
it here....
Does anyone have a list of the built-in drive types from the original
IBM AT? I'd like the drive number, heads, cyls, and capacity if you
have the list. The setup program on the diagnostics disk only lets
you pick a type, but it does not tell you what the choices are...
Of course, I know that later computers came along with BIOSes that let
you see the drive types instead of picking one out of thin air, but I
don't know if these followed the AT choices...
They don't! They usually follow the AT types for the first ten or
fifteen or so but after that they differ AND the added settings are all
different in different clone BIOSs.
