[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Hard Disk Controller + Miniscribe 3650/3425 Info Needed.

rburrow@alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca (Robert A. Burrow) (01/10/91)

 Hi - Could I tap the wisdom of the hardware netlanders.  I have an AT
   equipped with a Data Technology Corp. hard disk controller & a
   Miniscribe 3425 (20 Mb) drive.  I have aquired a used Miniscribe 3650
   (40 Mb) drive.  Since disk space is tight - you try living with 20M!
   - I want to attach the 40 M drive to the existing controller as drive
   D:.  The problem is that I don't know what jumper settings to set 
   or how to set the cables up.  A real novice, huh.  I assume everything 
   is MFM.

      The controller has Data Technology Corp. and 'assy rev C' written on
   the PC board.  Furthermore, an attached label has '5280 CAI/21180'.
   Does anyone know what the jumper settings mean?  Currently, W2, W3
   are open, W5 is set and W6 has 23 & 56 set.  Also what jumper
   settings on the 3650 do I need to set to get to be drive D:?

      Could someone point in the right direction.  Please e-mail me or 
   post to the group if you can't reach me.  If is interest, I'll post 
   a summary.

      Thanks a million...
