       Does anyone know if it's possible to "program" the AMI BIOS to
  accept a hard drive other than the 40-odd disks they have preset? I
  have a Seagate drive that isn't listed in the docs I have, and no 
  comparable drive (sectors & heads) is listed. BTW, the BIOS I have is
  for a newly purchased '386.
       Thanks in advance.
