Problem: IBM's only have 15 drive types built into ROM. To get full disk space
out of the 4051, you need to:

1) upgrade your BIOS (I've used Award 3.01 -- support 47 or so hard drives
   in ROM!)

2) get a piece of software like Disk Manager (Ontrack Systems) or Speedstor 
   (Storage Dimensions). Of the two, Disk Manager is superior, in my opinion.

By the way, I've never actually *put* non-IBM ROMS into an AT.
Does anyone know if this works? We sell clone AT's, and so I rarely, if
ever, see a real IBM AT.
