Well, I don't remember the minutes but the controller was an ESDI controller
made by Adaptec (2322A ? not sure :-( ). Perhaps that I choosed to use Old
hard disk driver instead of Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk support but I think that
the two choices would work. Have you tried using your HD under DOS ? Beware of
the 34 pin cable, it looks like a floppy cable but you cannot use one for this.
Hope this helps.
