  Do you know what DMA channel your disk controller uses?   I ended up
  getting mine working by changing DMA (remember to change DRQ as well)
  although I'm sure my HD was different, and I had no obvious conflicts.
 
  Also, many people have had trouble getting it to work under OS/2 with
  IRQ 10 (and some including me couldn't use IRQ 2 - I swapped the SB
  with the bus mouse on IRQ 5).   I'd suggest trying to use IRQ 5 if
  at all possible.   Changing the DMA is pretty painless...
