I am having trouble installing a Hardcard 20 disk card as the SECOND
hard disk on an NCR PC-4 (vintage 1984, DOS 2.11). It will work satisfactorily 
as the only (c:) drive, but returns "Non-DOS disk format error" when I try to 
access it as the 2nd (d:) drive. Plus Development, the Hardcard vendor, doesn't
"support" the NCR PC (or many others) and disclaims any insight into the
problem. Has anyone out there solved a similar-sounding problem?
