I have just recently installed a Dual HD/FD controller in my ibm
AT compatible.  I tried to connect a ST238R as drive C: and a 
ST157R as drive D: and E:.  I was able to do the low level format
to the ST238R and get the computer to recognize it as drive C:.
However, when I tried to low level format the ST157R, using 
standard drive number 3's parameters, I received the error message
FATAL ERROR: CODE CCH.

My question is, what causes this error and what do I need to do
to get my drive to low level format?  As far as I can tell, I
have the drive configured correctly.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Robb

BTW, The controller is a WA-6SR FD/HD controller, both drives are
configured as drive select 2 (it has twisted cables), and the
card bios is enabled in memory location d800.
