Obvious question : Did it work before you disconencted the battery? In
other words do you know the problem is just due to misconfiguration?
Yes. It worked fine before I disconnected the battery. I assumed it was
dead and I was planning on replacing it with a new one.
There is a 3rd party setup program that will run on the real IBM AT (I
know this, becuase it's what I use on mine). I has the advantage that
when you select a particualr drive type, it displays the actual
parameters (cylinders/heads/etc) too.
That way you could at least check you're selecting someting that makes
sesne.
Are you using the orignal IBM (Western Digital, actually) controller
board?
