We would like to add a third party ESDI drive to a PS/2 Mod 80. The
drive we have is a Maxtor 4170E. We have successfully low level formatted
the drive on another PC and used it with no problems. When we try it
on the Mod 80 (by doing ^A at the Reference Disk Main Menu followed by
low level format and/or factory prep) it refuses to format or recognize
the disk even though it correctly calculates the size. Does anyone know
of a way to do this. Thanks in advance.
