[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] ST506 problem.

rcb@shaman.cc.ncsu.edu (Randy Buckland) (04/12/91)

I have an old PC-AT hard disk controller with a 20 Meg disk. I also have
a recently freed 70 Meg drive (DEC RD53 which is really Micropolis 1325)
I have tried to connect this drive to the controller and cannot get
the two to talk properly. The controller is in a 386 motherboard with
AMI BIOS and works fine with the 20 Meg drive. Is this controller too old
to work with a 70 Meg drive? The controller was original equipment with
a 6MHz AT (The AT board was swaped for a 386 board which is why a 386
has such an old disk controller)
