The bios would have to know how to handle the disk as it does single
denisty
and a M^2FM double density that is unique to Intel boxen. The single
density
mode will however run standard CPM (BIOS is in the alteration guide) and
usually on standard distrubtion 8" SSSD.

You can use ISIS to help or hand push it some of it.
