Hello,

I hope, this is the right group concerning questions about PC-hardware
problems.

I am using a 486/50 PC-clone with a Seagate ST3390A AT-bus harddrive (340MB).
My controller is labeled GW2760 [PX] (, whatever that means).

Last week I got me a second harddrive, because I am going out of space
with my Seagate. It's a Conner CFS420A, that's another 420MB (fine).

But I have problems to get the 2 drives work together!

What I did:

	* I configured the Conner as the slave.
	* I rebooted my computer.

What happened:

	* Well, it said "disk error, drive D:" (or similar)

After that, I tried the Conner as master, and got the same result.
Unfortionately, I have no docs on my Seagate, so I don't know, if I
have to configure it in some way to get the two disks work together
properly. 
ARE THERE ANY JUMPERS TO SET ON A SEAGATE ST3390A TO USE IT TOGETHER 
WITH ANOTHER DRIVE? OR, MAY THIS BE A PROBLEM OF THE CONTROLLER? 
OR, WHAT ELSE DID I WRONG?

PLEASE, help!
