A proper HP16500C or better (series 17000) is way cheap nowadays. Myself
use a 16500C with lots of accessories (thank you, you know who you are!!!)
and a 16505A. Maybe it can help you. I don't know if there is an IDE
analyser for it (I have it for SCSI) but you can look for it. Or write a
module for it.

I checked it now with an old 486-DX50 EISA+VLB board (rare combination ;))
with a Goldstar Prime 2 and an Acer M5105 ISA

work fine with this harddisk. No idea what mode they work but I guess it
is PIO 0-whatever only - no DMA involved....
Damn this drives me nuts.... either I accept it, or I get a logic analyzer
but the cost of such a thing..... :/
There are some Chinese logic analyzers on eBay for well under $100. No
idea how well they work.
