OK, here is my problem. I would like to install a large ESDI drive approx.
300MB in an older AT-clone (specifically an Epson III+). The BIOS does
not have a user defined type but some one told me it wasn't necessary
(the ESDI controller got that info from the drive and then supplied it
to the op sys). Can such a setup be used with OS/2 1.3 or is it
necessary to get some kind of special driver or something? Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail directly to me to conserve
net bandwidth. BTW, I notice that some of these drives have > 1024 cyls,
is this a problem.

Thanks,
Kevin L. Spier
