Okay for the eighteen billionth time. I've seen it posted before and
never took the time to catch the responses. So here goes once more.
Is there a driver for ESDI drives? (Should of kept the ol' IDE drive
I wouldn't have these problems :-)). Thanx in advance.

As far as I am aware the standard AT wini driver will work with any disk controller that that is AT compatible. The Western Digital ESDI controller worked fine, even at 1.3

The Western Digital ESDI controller > worked fine, even at 1.3 My apologies to the net. Because I was busy tracking down other problems with bringing Minix up I never really tried the AT wini driver. In my own defense the documetation was the real reason I was lead to believe that it would not work ("With an ESDI drive, you have to use #3" {pg.8}). Once things calmed I did try the #1 disk and it worked like a charm. Thanx... srm -- Scott R.
