Ding ding ding!!!

Hold on!

I got the info off the HD bible and I found what we need to know:

Most WD, SMS/OMTI use C800:5
few did use C800:6

But the Adaptec 8 bit card use weirdest way to do LLF process:

C800:CCC

and you have to input the needed info in hex.

Honestly, I prefer WD 1:2 or 1:3 controllers, the good ones are
XT-GEN kind.

PS: How did I know something is still wrong because I was been there
before. Oh, those 8 bit adaptec MFM cards have highest failure rate!
