I have a machine with the same config (ST238R, ST-11R, BIOS 1.5), and
some people sent me patches for the XT driver to get the disk to work
with MINIX 1.5.XX.

Alas, it still doesn't work.
I have no clue what the problem is...

So, I could send you all patches I have, if you are willing to dive
into it.  Just drop me a message.
