I had a 10meg hard drive die in an old IBM PC.  I've run into some problems
getting a new 10meg drive working.  Mainly, I don't know how to low level
format it.  I've tried debug with g=c800:5 with no luck.  Unfortunately,
I have no specific information on the controller.  It is most likely original
IBM equipment.  It is full length and only a hard drive controller.  The floppy
controller is seperate and about 3/4 length.  Any suggestions on what to
try, or even whether or not the formatting routine is on the card.

Thanks for any and all possible solutions.    Vern
