Anyone have the DIP settings for a Seagate ST-506 (full-height 5.25", 5 MB)
HD? I can't seem to find it on Seagate's website (or am I just looking in
the wrong place?) I'm trying to set it up as HD [0] on an IBM PC using a
Western Digital XT-GEN controller. The HD appears to be recognized by the
controller BIOS to do a LLF, but isn't recognized by MS-DOS FDISK (5.0 - I
don't have anything smaller on 5.25" disks). It just says "error reading
Hard Disk". I can only think of two things :wrong jumper settings, or wrong
interleave setting. When I LLF'ed it, I left it at <3>, which is what was
the ?default? was set at. Or is the WD-XT-GEN too new of a controller for
the ST-506 (controller is dated 1987). One last thing: Does anyone have a
360k image (or TeleDisk Image) of IBM PC-DOS 3.0 or earlier (If you need a
copy of TeleDisk, email me, and I can email you a copy).
ThAnX,

PS>> Anyone know what's wrong with the Obsolete Computer Helpline? It's
been down for the past week or so. Looks like a main server blew or
something.
