BTW, the Triangle 40Mb hard drive I refered to in my last posting (fd0 timeouts when accessing the root floppy during booting if the hard disk is connected) has a custom disk controller based on the NEC ST506 / 412 chip set. I just talked to the manufacturer, and he is as puzzled as I am. He's sending me the specs for the controller, but I just can't think where to start looking for the problem. How can having a hard disk connected cause fd0 timeouts ... Any suggestions whatsoever gratefully received. -- Hugh -- Hippo.EuroPARC@Xerox.COM
