  I used to do this alot... let's see... I believe the problems could be
  the fact that a TYPE 2 does not represent a 20MEG drive. The drive TYPEs
  represent the number of cylinders and heads on the physical drive.

  What you would need is a list of the TYPEs by cylinder and head numbers,
  then compare your new drive to these TYPEs to find the correct match.
  Of Course...this is only one item that could be the problem. I know that
  in some machines I have worked on... a IBM OLD 20MEG is a TYPE 2 while
  some newer 20MEGs by third parties are TYPE 4.

  Check it out...could be...
