The IMI 5012H is I am told a clone of the Shugart ST-512, which is a type 1
drive, can anyone confirm this? I am, working to resurrect an IBM AT.
Silly me I disconnected the battery and lost the configuration settings. I
Obvious question : Did it work before you disconencted the battery? In
other words do you know the problem is just due to misconfiguration?
attempted to run setup, but when I declare the drive
to be type 1 (or 2),
the system returns a 1780 error code (drive seek error)...which makes me
wonder if this is not really a drive type=1.
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?
