Um, I'm not sure. I'm not sure I understand the question either. This is
a standard ISA IDE+floppy controller. Should I try an older one? Or hook
this up to an oldr PC from the 1980s?

If I then try to DIR the disk the head backs up a
track or so but can't
seem to recalibrate to track 0. The head vibrates as if the drive is
sending the signals to the stepper to retract the head but it only manages
to move back a track or so each time I issue DIR. If I do it enough it
eventually gets back to the stop position but it still gets sector errors.
Wrong step rate! Poke a new on eint othe chip, or does it use the old
table of junk INT 13h used to supoprt?
