I've got a hard disk here - a "Vertex V170".  From the looks of the
connectors and Disk Manager, it appears to be a standard MFM - although
someone thought it was a SCSI.  But, Disk Manager fails to get past the
CMOS setup/initialize controller.  I think it is because of a mis-placed
jumper.  The jumper block is really 8 break-links across a DIP and all
but numbers 1,5 are broken.

Any help as to how to get this drive to work with my AT would be
greatly appreciated.  Email to jgb@prism.gatech.edu.

Thanks.
