[comp.sys.ibm.pc] PC Disk Drives

dickr@ncr-sd.SanDiego.NCR.COM (Richard Rozenko) (06/18/87)

We would like to use a Fujitsu 85MB hard drive with our NCR PC-8s. This
is an AT compatible machine. Unfortunately, the defined disk drive types
in the setup do not support this drive. Does someone know of a way around 
this problem for the AT and similar machines?

Please reply by email if possible, or post if not.

Thanks,
Dick Rozenko

Could someone please send me information regarding disk drive controllers
in PC AT class machines? I am interested in options, eg. ESDI, RLL, SCSI
and the "standard interface", whatever that is. What are the limitations of
each type of controller in maximum disk size? How do the CMOS Ram and 
the setup program handle the different controllers?

Thanks very much!
