[comp.periphs] IBM PC-RT ESDI

Hi,

I have two ESDI(??) hard disks that have been pulled from an old
IBM PC-RT, which is no longer working.  Does anyone out there know
if these can be used in an AT with a standard ESDI card? -- and if so, how?

I have a DTC ESDI drive controller, but lack the relevant disk info
(heads, sectors, etc...); the drive type not appearing in the controller's
drive table.  I'm hoping that these *are*, in fact, just "standard" ESDI
drives that can be used this way, but I have been told that they can
only be used with the RT.  Any info regarding the usability of these
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
