DTK's BIOS chip has a setup program and a low-level formatter built-in,
accessible with a hot-key... Really nice, with windows and the whole garb.

This is what is in our 'cheap' AT clone line; it seems to work ok with
the software I've tried (it appears compatible)

I can probably supply the BIOS only if desired; email or call for specifics.
