I tried briefly to use a WD8013 with an Orchid ProDesigner II; it failed to boot DOS (controller was a WD1007V). Replacing it with an Oak got the system to boot. I tried various configurations but nothing seemd to work; I assume that I need to move the WD memory out of the Orchid Pro II region but got bored before I tried that out. On the positive side I've found the WD cards to be super reliable; we use the 8-bit version here in large numbers. This message is being entered on a 486/25 using a WD8003EPR under SCO ODT 1.0, and the WD is very solid. -- Mike Squires (mikes@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu) 812 855 3974 (w) 812 333 6564 (h) mikes@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu 546 N Park Ridge Rd., Bloomington, IN 47408 Under construction: mikes@sir-alan.cica.indiana.edu
