I am trying to install a miniscrib hard disk on a 286 board. The setup software that that I am using has different preset parameters but none of these parameters matches the hard drive I have. Is there a way to manually enter these parameters (maybe using debug) or do I need a more advanced setup software? The harddisk I have is a Miniscribe Cyl 771, HD 4, Pre 128, PZ 810, Sec 26 Size 39. It was orginally in a Packard Bell computer. Thanks in advance... Ruth

It was orginally in a Packard Bell computer. The Miniscribe 20MB had a jumper that would configure the 4hd / 26 sector as if it were 6 * 17, wasting a little, but making it compatible with BIOS type 2, ( I think ). I've got documents buried somewhere. -- --- Clarence A Dold - dold@tsmiti.Convergent.COM (408) 435-5293 ...pyramid!ctnews!tsmiti!dold FAX (408) 435-3105 P.O.Box 6685, San Jose, CA 95150-6685 MS#10-007
