I am trying to connect a Western Digital ESDI controller (WD1007v) to an
IBM 70MB Extended ESDI Fixed Disk Drive (#3988 type 0667).  The computer is a
TOP-286 with an 286-BIOS(c) 1987 AMI with a ROM BIOS date of 03-03-89.  The
controller works with both floppy drives but does not recognize the fixed
disk at all.  With WDFMT Rev 2.10 I get an Error with "Status 11 Error 4".
With EasyDiag I get "Status = 51 Check Error Register, and Error = 4 Abort
Command".  I am running with a 150 Watt power supply and power is going to the
fixed drive.  The ESDI controller's jumpers are set at:
          W7: 1-2
	  W1: none
	  W3: none
	  W12: none
	  W6: none
	  W8: 2-3
	  W5: none
	  
There are two ROMs with the following IDs:
	62 000318-031 WDC '89
	62 000271-061 WDC '89

Any ideas on how to get the controller to recognize the fixed drive?

Thanks
