I'm running 1.2.13 on a 486-66 w/ Future Domain TMC-1680 controller and a
Seagate ST31200N drive.

I recently added a 2Gig Seagate ST32155N. The controller sees the drive, but
I can't get fdisk to set the heads, cylinders, partitions, etc.

A friend suggested using the controller to do a low-level format of the
drive, but this old Future Domain has no built in utility in its BIOS.

Can someone point me to a fix - either a way to make the controller sync
with the new drive or a software utility to get the drive set so fdisk will
work with it.

E-mail preferred.

Thanks!!
