Hello. I've got an AT&T PC6300 (640K), a Western Digital drive controller, and a Microscience 20MB hard drive. The ROMs in the controller identify it as a WX2. I'm using DOS 2.11, and my PC has the 1.43 ROMs. Problem: I can format the hard disk (low level) using the routines on the controller (at C800:0005), and then it reboots, and drive C: just isn't there. I use FDISK, and make a DOS partition. Okay, fine. Use FDISK to list partitions. Okay, fine. Exit FDISK. There's no drive C. Bletch. The ATTSUM utility (dounloaded from AT&T's national service bboard) was supposed to be used instead of the ROM low level format. I did this. It wouldn't talk to my drive at all! Said something like 'wrong # of cylinders'. Bletch! Any help in getting this thing working would be appreciated. I realize microscience hard disks suck, but I picked up the drive *and* controlloer for $120 together. -- Doug.deJ | dd26@andrew.cmu.edu | Carnegie-Mellon University ******** | ...!harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!dd26 | Do not attend this college.
