I'm trying to help a friend upgrade thier original IBM-PC (model 5150!)
to be more than just a two-floppy system.  As susch, we got a
Segate 225 and a WDXT-GEN2 PLUS controller for the system, and a
larger power supply.  The power supply slipped in with no problems,
and the entire old system then ran fine.  Next step was to remove
one disk drive, change the board jumpers so that the PC only thinks it
has one floppy and test it again.  This also works fine.

Now the problem starts...  The WDXT controller (8-bit) has mondo number
of jumpers, but *no documentation*!  I know that the "normal" PC needs
to have the hard disk controller jumpered in as int 5, dma level 2,
but I'll be damned if I can figure this beastie out.

The jumpers are labeled J5, W17-W22 (one bank), W-25-W28 (one back)
and ther are some funky ones down near the bottom, J4.

If you know anything about this, please, please let me know!  Thank
you so very much for reading this.
