I was wondering if anybody could tell me what the jumpers on this card do.
Both floppies running off this board died simultaniously--they spin up,
and then return "Drive not ready"--and I would like to avoid reformatting
the HD by just diabling the floppy controller, keeping the HD on the card,
and getting a new discrete FD controller.

The card in question is the standard full-length integrated 16-bit controller
card shipped with the old IBM ATs.  There are three sets of jumpers, and
the stickers affixed to it note "X+ECO1611", "6480111", and "RR-37859".

If somebody could just tell me how to disable the FD contrller half, I would be
very grateful.

Thanks,
Dave
