Apparently the 70 MB Esdi drive is also called an E70?
I found the following at
http://www.uni-giessen.de/faq/archiv/ibm-rt-faq.hardware/msg00000.html
* The E70 and E114 hard drives use a 150 Ohm inline resistor.
It has pin one as the common pin, and has 12 total leads.
This is NOT documented ANYWHERE that I could find!
* Switch settings for E70 and E114 hard drives.
For RT installation, the switches must be as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6
+------------------+
On | X X X |
Off | X X X |
+------------------+
- Eliot <eliot at engr.washington.edu>
reports that the switch meanings are:
switch
1: on = pwr up via software (factory default)
off = pwr up with system
2: on = diags (factory default)
off = ?
[ My guess.. since on is the RT normal position,
then off must activate diagnostic mode. - MW]
3: on = 512 byte sectors (factory default)
off = 256 byte sectors
4,5,6: drive select in binary
i.e. 4 off 5 on 6 off = drive select 2
