an 8-bit IDE hardcard with a 20 MB drive came in my new tandy 1000tx today, but it has problems. i got it to work, but there are a ton of bad areas on the drive and i have to work around them. i ended up having to make 4 partitions, small ones. the largest is about 7 MB, and i've lost about 3 MB total due to bad areas on the drive.
even like this i get the odd read or write error. i know these old cards can be finicky about what drives can go on them. it's an 1988 western digital card.
would this work on it?

better suggestions? i don't need anything very big. even a 20 MB if it worked would be fine for my purposes.
