Simon Gales) Distribution: na Organization: U of Kentucky, Mathematical Sciences Lines: 19 Has anyone out there tried to use a non-IBM drive in a Ps/2 system? My controller is MFM, and I've got a st4096 (80 megs) hooked up. The drive powers up fine, but I don't know the drive type... The original 44 meg drive is a type 31, I've tried 33,34,35,32,44,17, and several others. I do not have an ADF file for my MFM controller, and there hasn't been on any of the 4-5 reference disks I've looked over. I would think that the automatic configuration stuff would let me page through the drive types...
