I am looking for some help on the instalation of a hard drive in an
IBM PC.  The drive is a Seagate 21Mb MFM and the computer is an IBM
PC (no XT or anything).  The drive was purchased second-hand with no
manuals but was sold with a controller card.  The previous owner said
that there was a jumper on the card that had to be set according to
the size of the drive and he gave us the Seagate setup disk.  I can't
seem to get the computer to recognize the drive, nor can I get the
setup program to read the hard disk properly to reformat it.

I would appreciate any help you can offer as this is my first
non-microchannel installation.
