My 5170 AT is working with a type 2 full height Winchester (20 megs)- can't see the exact type right now.
I found a Miniscribe 8425 20 MB HD that I want to add, but I can't get it to be recognized by the bios.
I have seen it working in another PC, so ist not broken. It also spins up normally. Its jumpered ok, according to the documentation that I found.
The PC is a model 99, so only 16 choices in BIOS. I tried all 20 mb and 30 mb ones to no avail.
I'm not sure about the controller card- it says (c) 1983 FIXED DISK-FLOPPY DISKETTE, and has a lot of WD chips on it.
Some sticker says REVX7-ECO1611, http://members.home.nl/charon.styx/5170HDctrl.jpg.
Would there be anything left to try?
