I'm trying to format a harddisk with a new WD1006SR2 controllercard (1:1,
RLL) but the bios' adresses conflicts with a frame grabber-card who also use 
same adresses (C0000-CFFFF). 

The controller works well when the frame grabber is disabled. But we must
use the frame grabber and the software uses the above adresses so we can't
change the grabbers adresses.

I tried to disable the controllers bios but the computer won't booting at
the harddisk and we got only 17 sectors per track.

Can we use the controller without controller bios but with some external
drivers (from discmanager och speedstor) to get 26 sectors? Or must we
swap to a controller without bios and rll (WD1006S2 ?)
