	The WD 1002 WX2 explanation makes sense to me. I am running
a Magnum PC/XT clone with a turbo mother board. When attempting to
use an 8MHz V20 my hard drives both appear to be blank! All other
system functions are fine. Re-installing the 8088-2 returns everything
to normal. The WX2 controller seems to be the only logical explanation.
I am however open to suggestions.
