I have an old "I think" zenith data systems model "248" 286 PC, It is actually badged "British Telecom", i've had it a while and the old 42Mb hard drive "ST 225" seem's to be on it's last legs, getting noisy and gaining more bad sectors, I got the model number MWE-248-F4 from a lable that is stuck to the floor inside the machine.
My question is: Is it possible to use an ide hard drive controller card and ide drive in these Zenith 248 machines ?, I have tried several ide controller cards and drives which i know are working and get the same error message every time "Bad Disk Controller", I even tried my XTIDE card in it and got the same error, Anyone know ?
Thanks
