I have a fairly early AT&T PC6300 (XT clone) with a Seagate ST-225
hard disk and a Data Technologies Corp (DTC) full-length controller
card. Since the PC6300, as it comes from the factory, uses an
internal BIOS for controlling the hard disk(s), the BIOS socket on
the DTC card is empty. Further, the list of drives supported by
the internal BIOS is rather small and dated.
Does anybody have an address or phone number for DTC, or know of
any way by which I could contact them? I would like to know if
they have an fairly new controller BIOS that will work with some
of the newer, larger drives that are becoming common these days.
Since I frequent 'ham fests' and the like, and often come across
some less-than-really-standard drives, the ideal solution would be
a BIOS that lets you enter any number of heads, cylinders, etc..
Something like WD's "super BIOS", for example.
Oh, yeah. If anyone has any documentation on the DTC card, or a
pointer thereto, I would really appreciate a copy. There is
almost no information in the AT&T documentation -- including the
harware reference manual. I don't even know the model designation
of my card. It's covered with various numbers, but none that
look conclusively like a model number. Thanks in advance for any
assistance you can give me.
