I am using an IBM-AT with Intel's Inboard 386/AT using an Adaptec ESDI
controller with a 380 M Priam drive.  I also have 1 1.2 M floppy and
a 740K 3.5 inch floppy.  When I boot, the standard boot sequence
progresses, i.e. the 5 1/4 floppy is scanned, followed by the 3.5 inch,
finally the Priam is scanned and it sounds like it is rezeroed about
10 times before the boot sequence proceeds and succeeds.  I don't think
this trauma could be good for the life of the drive.  Any body got any
ideas?

Thanx in advance.
