I've had an odd problem with both of the Western Digital drive controllers I've ever owned. Both have told me to type DEBUG<return> g=C*00:5<return> Where * has been, alternatively, 8, A, and C. None of those works- they either lock up the machine or "break", giving me a stack dump. When I do a dump, I.E. DEBUG<return> DCC00:5<return> I get what looks like, perhaps, code, but nothing really interesting like text. This is really annoying because it's done this for both my old drive controller (which didn't have any documentation) and the new (which comes with scads of documentation, none of it useful). I fear this may be a silly BIOS problem- I've got a Phoenix BIOS that came with the MIT systems 286 (from Telemart). The old controller card was simply a WDC-- I don't know the model number, but it ran an MFM 42meg CMS. The new controller is a WDC1006RA2 HDFD running an RLL 65meg Seagate ST277R and the old 42meg CMS formatted at 65meg. -- David Konerding, Wesleyan University DKONERDING@EAGLE.WESLEYAN.EDU root%raphael.uucp@uhasun.hartford.edu
