Don't take this is as gospel, but I believe that ATs have much of the HD
stuff in ROM, so you need to disable the Hardcard's on board controller.

Try that, and if that doesn't work, I think the other method is to tell  
the AT that you have no hard drive installed (since the Hardcard has its
own ROM BIOS).....

Or something like that.
