I have an XT-clone with an OMTI HD controller, probably the 5520 A,
but I don't know the settings for a Seagate ST251 (40 MB, 28 ms).

My old HD, a Microscience 20 MB had a terrible headcrash so I purchased
a ST251 from a friend. But now I have it and I don't know what links to
set on the OMTI controller....
The OMTI controller has 8 links (W1-W8) which can be set or unset. With my
old Microscience only link W2 was set.
As my clone was secondhand, I don't have the specs for the OMTI controller.
The Seagate ST251 has (I think) 5 Heads.

Now I'm working with a clone with 1 drive and a HD which I can't connect!
I would be much obliged if anyone could tell me which links to set so I
can finally use my (now unemployed) HardDisc.
