[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Mountain DriveCard

I own a TeleVideo AT compatible. I couple of months ago I decided
to buy an additional 20MB HD. It turned out that I bought a
Mountain 20 MB DriveCard. The original cost was $586 and I got it
at a discount for ~ $200.  One of the conditions for discount was
a no-return-policy.

The problem arised when I wanted to install my drivecard. After a
number of phone calls to the Mountain Computers and similar
number of visits to the dealer, a Mountain technician told me
that my computer was not compatible with the drivecard. I had
actually taken the card to the dealer and have them install it in
their TeleVideo, which they did, but to no success. I have done
various changes with the jumpers. Managed to run the Install
program successfully. The Mdisk successfully. But when it comes
to typing D: , I get an old "invalid drive specification"
message.

I would like to know if anyone else had attempted this marriage,
Televideo with Mountain. If anyone has an experience with
mountain drives and their compatibility, please let me know and
tell me what the jumpers should be set to. I would also be very
glad to hear from "Mountain" and "Televideo" people on the net.

Thanks in advance.
