I am using a Seagate 4051, but I have it configured as a type 17.  The SETUP.COM
program that came with dos 3.1 for my Vectra PC recognizes type 17 and makes
the appropriate changes.  Sorry, I can't send it to you 'cause it's copywrited
but I'm sure someone on the net knows what you need to poke into memory to
configure for type 17.  I don't know if 17 is an industry standard type, but
the Vectra uses Phoenix bios roms.
