BTW, the Triangle 40Mb hard drive I refered to in my last posting (fd0
timeouts when accessing the root floppy during booting if the hard disk is
connected) has a custom disk controller based on the NEC ST506 / 412 chip
set.  I just talked to the manufacturer, and he is as puzzled as I am.
He's sending me the specs for the controller, but I just can't think where
to start looking for the problem.  How can having a hard disk connected
cause fd0 timeouts ...

Any suggestions whatsoever gratefully received.
