Hi, we need help/info regarding installation of ESDI controller and hard drive
on the original IBM-AT system.

Does ESDI controller (WD1007-WAH) work with original IBM-AT ?

We have ESDI controller (WD1007-WAH) which is an ESDI hard drive controller
only. We try to install it on the IBM-AT which has a MFM floppy and hard drive
controller. For some reason the IBM-AT system could not recognize the ESDI
hard drive. 

Does any body know how to solve it ? Does ESDI controller really work with
the IBM-AT system with MFM controller ?


Thanks.


Kent
