     Sorry to the net, my last posting got hosed up somehow. 

     I need to know if anyone has the specs for a Western Digital 20mb
 controller.  I am using it in an XT clone with a Seagate ST-225 drive. 
 I've tried to locate the jump address for the pre-format routine in the
 controller's ROM at C800.  I can't determine what the address is. 
 Most other controllers are at C800:5 that I've encountered, but that 
 just hangs my system.  ( I've used a MCT controller in the same system 
 and have had no problems).  
 
     Any info on this stuff would be helpful. 

     If anyone has the WD address or phone number, I would also appreciate it. 


     Thank ya !
