I have a Z-248 with a standard Zenith controller (I am not sure which).  I
have two Seagate ST225 drives.  Drive 0 has four partitions, 3 of which are
for MINIX.  Drive 1 has 1 20 MB MINIX partition.

I have received a couple of reports about bios_wini.c, mostly negative.  It
seems to be flakey, crash, etc.  Not so great for a universal driver.  Do we
have a BIOS expert out there who could take a good look at bios_wini.c and see
what's wrong?
