I want to use a non-standard HD on Ericsson PC or Ericsson AT/WS286. With non-standard I mean a harddisk that is not supported directly by the BIOS. I want to use the following hard-disks : AMPEX 27 ( 320 cylinders , 8 heads ) HITACHI DK 511-8 ( 823 cylinders ,10 heads ) I have tried with DiskManager but all versions I used where made for a specific brand ( ex. Seagate ,Miniscribe etc ) and it's not possible to change parameters for cylinders or heads. Do you know if there is a generic version of DiskManager with the possibility to change cylinders and heads parameters ? Do you know some other programs ? /Lars Nilsson ( etxsral@tnetxa.ericsson.se )

How about my "bigdisk" program, which allows you to describe a
non-standard disk. Note that you will have to use DOS 3.3 to get up to 4
partitions of 32 MB. It does NOT allow large partitions, just large and
non-BIOD disks.
