Gee!! If I had known, I'd be playing with IDE on a RT that I had, it
was desktop! With some issues.
Did the OS complains of no HD if I try to boot with the diskettes?
It failed (diagnostic LED display) at one point late in the boot up
process.
No longer have that RT, long ago now.

If you can find an ISA IDE/FDC card without
serial and parallel and
without PC "BIOS entensions", a Seagate IDE Medalist
under 2GB will work
fine. I've got one running in mine.
couldn't you just disable all the unnecessary stuff,
including the bios extensions?
