Hi Chuck,

Most IDE drives shouldn't have a

You mean versus an 80-conductor cable? No it's a 40.
And finally, you're
not trying to use it as a slave with another manufacturer's drive
being master (or vice-versa), are you?
I had it as a Master (and also tried 'single drive installation') on a
chain by itself.
See if you can access the drive (at least on a
physical sector basis)
under MS-DOS/INT 13 services.
I barely know what you are talking about here. :) I can just google it,
or if you have a good ref, I'll take that too. :)
Let me see if the BIOS lets me pick PIO.
