I moved a 30M hard disk from on IBM-AT to another IBM-AT.
The setup on the original AT showed the hard disk to be type
20.  The problem is that the setup on the receiving AT only
allows setups 1-15.  It will not accept 20.

What exactly do these types refer to?  Why would one AT
allow more types than the other?  Is there anyway around
this problem?

thanks in advance,
