	I'm posting this for a friend whose hard disk/controller won't
co-operate with the winchester driver.  He has tried both the 1.2 xt_wini
(the version posted by Andy after the 1.2 diffs) and the 1.1 driver. 

	The hardware is : DSS (hong kong) XT clone, HC-100 C2 hard disk
controller (supposedly fully IBM compatible), and Seagate ST-125 20 mb
drive (4 heads, 615 cylinders).

	The errors are "Unrecoverable disk error on Drive ..."
Also I'm told the drive access light STAYS ON after the error appears!

	Can anybody help by mailing a diff to the 1.2 driver, or even a
hint as to what is happening would be helpful.

	Thanks ... Nick.
