=== Miniscribe disk drive infos ===

Interesting, My CSC Hard Drive Bible VIII indicates there are 3 different 8438 drives. My book says 8438/8438F, 32 Megs formatted, 4 heads, 615 Cyl, 26 sectors, 68/40 MSecond timing RLL Then there is a third 8438XT, 31 Megs formatted, 4 heads, 615 Cyl, 26 sectors, 68 MSecond timing XT-IDE As to the Western digital 1002A-WX1, it is an 8 bit MFM controller for two hard drives only. The default jumpers are W3, W4-2 & 3, W6-2 7 3,W8-2 & 3, S1-8 (AT mode) To format use G=C800:5 as you already know. Hope this helps. Doesn't the Model 30 have a built in disk controller that you have to disable is use an ISA disk controller? I think there is IDE on the motherboard. You might need the actual PS2 setup disks for the model 30. Is yours a 8086 or 80286 model 30? Most of the PS2 line had their own set up floppy disk. Paxton -- Paxton Hoag Astoria, OR USA
