   Hello,
 The CMI-6426 and the CMI-3426 are both 20 Megabyte units, and in an AT the
drive type would be 2. This is the same drive that IBM originally used in 
the AT computer, but they had a lot of problems with them. So select type 2
and you should have no problems. Be advised that the type 2 drive will only
format 615 cylinders, but there is no other choice...
