yes, the everex hard drive config info is wrong. everybodies jumper select
diagrams are wrong. in fact (or at least my experience) there is no proper
way to do it.you have to experiment. termination packs often do nothing.
sometimes they must be on. sometimes off. twisted cable, 2nd drive select.
doesn't always work.




here is a question: why don't MFM controllers have bios routines??
if they did, we wouldn't have to screw with low level software.
