This evening, I started a project, called "The World's Coolest 286"
OK, I got everything in, and it booted to the bios screen. I went to set everything up, and saw something rather odd. There are only two options for the hard drive setup. Option (1) was for MFM support, and Option (2) was for RLL, there were no other options. I want to use a samsung 120MB drive I have, it is IDE, and I have an IDE controller in it, with FDD on the same card. The Floppy drives work well, but I cannot configure the HDD.
The board is a DTK PTM-1230C, and the controller is a generic winbond job.
Here is the manual for the board. http://www.thegreenhouse.us/th99/m/C-D/30007.php
Info on project:
I am installing everything in a modded case, which I modified the power button up front(original atx) to hold a at power switch.
286 12MHz with the full 1MB RAM(WoOT!)
