apparently IDE. It's currently attached to a 8bit ISA card (also from
WDC) and I'm curious about it.
What I need to know is what flavor of IDE it is (it may be 8bit)
and its pinouts.
Allison, my Pocket PCRef confirms what another gouge told me that both of
the A suffix drives are 16 bit IDE while there is/was also an X which was
an 8 bit IDE. The D suffix seems to have introduced translation
capability. The drive that you have - unless someone has swapped logic
cards - cannot be expected to work with the 8 bit card.
