I vaguely remember someone posting an article saying that I could just use the at_wini driver, and redefine N_SECTORS appropriately. Is there anything special I need to know? Are there any special jumper settings needed on the controller (it's a WD-1007 FD/FD controller). Obviously, bios_wini isn't an option because I'm running in protected mode. Thanks. -- Bruce Bauman email: boot@osf.org phone: 617-621-7205 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA, 02142 Not really a programmer, but I play one on TV
