I have tried to install a spare HD on the Zenith Data System (286)
machine,  but I can not get it to work.

    The spare hard drive, the original IBM XT 10M drive, 306 cylinders,
ship zone 305, precomp 128, 4 heads, 17 sectors, capacity 10Meg. I do
not have a schematic diagram for it.  It has a drive-select jumper
with 4 possible selections.

    The installed hard drive, a Miniscribe hard drive, 615 cylinders,
ship zone 663, precomp 128, 4 heads, 17 sectors, capacity 21Meg. I
do not have a schematic diagram to it either. It has a drive-select
jumper with 7 possible selections, labelled 1 - 7.

    The controller is the original Zenith data system part. I use a
cable with the IBM type of twist, therefore C: and D: must  carry the
same drive-select setting.


    Thank you for any help you may have.
