I am currently trying to connect a Maxtor 380MB EXT-4380 to an IBM
PC-RT running ASIS.  The machine is using IBM's ESDI disk controller.
After adding the proper configuration tables to the
format program (included in their boot program) I tried to format the
disk.  It did not work, returning errors such as write fault and
id not found to my format request.  If anyone has tried to do this elsewhere,
including on an AT, and has any hints or information that might help,
PLEASE send me mail (I do not subscribe to this newsgroup).
