I am having trouble installing a Hardcard 20 disk card as the SECOND hard disk on an NCR PC-4 (vintage 1984, DOS 2.11). It will work satisfactorily as the only (c:) drive, but returns "Non-DOS disk format error" when I try to access it as the 2nd (d:) drive. Plus Development, the Hardcard vendor, doesn't "support" the NCR PC (or many others) and disclaims any insight into the problem. Has anyone out there solved a similar-sounding problem? - Peter -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Peter Marks, MCC, 9390 Research Blvd., Austin TX 78759 | | (512)338-3349 marks@mcc.com | | {gatech,harvard,pyramid,seismo}!ut-sally!im4u!milano!marks | +------------------------------------------------------------+

Do you actually have two disk controller cards in use? Are you sure their device addresses don't conflict? Most controllers can accomodate two drives. Mike Berger Center for Advanced Study University of Illinois berger@clio.las.uiuc.edu {ihnp4 | convex | pur-ee}!uiucuxc!clio!berger
