Hello world of the net, A while ago i dug out my dad's old Commodore PC-10 and decided to make it become an AT. I have found a 8/10 Mhz AT motherboard and mamadged to make all the old hardware work with it, except for the most important thing : The harddisk, an old Olivetti HD with 20 MB and connected to the computer by an OMTI - controller, refuses to work. In fact, I can get the directory of the HD if I boot from a floppy, but if I want to start any program, I get something like a "SEEK ERROR" and the loading is aborted. The omti controller has a lot of jumpers, does anybody know what they meen and how to set them correctly ? In the old XT, none of them was set. Is it possible to use the old Controller and Harddisk without re-formatting ? (There is important data on this HD) Thanx for any kind of help, Frank. PS : please reply via e-mail, I usually don't read this group. -- ============================================================================ CS Student | I may be late, Real : Frank Moehle, 2900 Oldenburg, west germany | but I'm worth Inhouse : faramir!moesel | waiting for.
