[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Rodime Drive...

jca@pnet01.cts.com (John C. Archambeau) (05/05/90)

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.
