I just inherited what appears to be a Rodime RO352 hard drive. The problem is that I don't know what the proper configuration is to set the thing to drive select two and hang it off my 16-bit hard drive controller as drive 2. I'm certain it's a 20 Mb drive since the label on it says "Type 2" which implies its parameters are identical to a Seagate ST225. Ok, great, now what's the proper jumper settings under the drive to hook the thing to my 386SX with WA3-16 controller? Any help will be appreciated. BTW, I know it's an ST412/506 drive judging from the connections from the drive to the controller. Two edge connections that are keyed. // JCA /* **--------------------------------------------------------------------------* ** Flames : /dev/null | Xenix is the ONLY thing ** ARPANET : crash!pnet01!jca@nosc.mil | Microsoft did right. ** INTERNET: jca@pnet01.cts.com ** UUCP : {nosc ucsd hplabs!hd-sdd}!crash!pnet01!jca **--------------------------------------------------------------------------* */
