I'm having some trouble with a machine with a WD AC2700 drive, an 
ST3390a drive & a simple WINBOND type VLB IDE card.

I set up and partitioned the WD drive with Disk Manager and it worked 
well using the IDE card driverless - giving drives C: (WD part 1) D: 
(Seagate) and E: (WD part 2).

If I then add WBIDE.EXE to config.sys the machine boots but as soon as 
it gets to WBIDE the C: & E: logical drives suddenly have no files on 
them. If I boot from a floppy, missing out Disk Manager, the same seems 
to happen.

Is it possible that they are both trying to provide > 528 mb 
translations? Is it, perhaps, possible to use WBIDE by itself on a 730
disk in any way?
