Make life easy for yourself.  Get DUB-14 from Golden Bow Systems, in San
Diego, CA.  Supports at least 50 different drives beyondthe ones IBM defined.
It consists of two ROM chips that plug into your AT's mommaboard, in the 
unused sockets.  There is also a software install disk that will set up the
CMOS config ram and optionally do a low-level format.

The implementation is so good that it fools even the IBM dealer diagnostics,
that also do low level formatting, etc.  I run my AT at 9+ MHZ with an Ariel
Speed Injector (another fine product), and the DUB-14 always boots up fine.

Just a satisfied customer, as they say ....
