Does anywone know (definitively) if it possible
to hook up a Seagate ST251 (40MB) to a
PC6300+ with a WD1002S-WX2 controller in it?
I have the Version 2.05 ROMS in the machine
and have been trying to format the disk with
the FDISK from MS-DOS version 3.1 R1.01.

The symtoms that I have seen so far are that
I set up an MS-DOS partition, using FDISK,  for
the size of the whole disk.  When I have to reboot
MS-DOS (FDISK requires a reboot) and come back up
into MS-DOS (I didn't say it but obviously off of
the floppy), I can't change-directory to the C:
drive, but rather get an error message of
"Invalid drive specification".  Re-entering
FDISK to display the partitions I find that FDISK
tells me that the hard disk has no active partitions
set up!

So, what am I to do next.  Yes, I know that the ST251
is not on the official list of supported drives for
the 6300+, but what is it that will allow me to
use it?

Thanks for any help or pointers.
