     I'm hoping someone can help me out here, well I just stuck in a
new Motherboard 386DX-20, to upgrade my 386SX-16. Anyways I stuck in
all my cards, started it up and I get a 'XCMOS checksum error'
so I go to set-up my CMOS (have 386-BIOS 1987 AMI) and it gives
me a choice of 47 hard drives, which did I have, I have no idea, since
I didn't check before swapping not sure I can now (no doc)

     It is a MFM Seagate ST-251 appx. 40 MB space, the CMOS ask for
one of the 47 types, if someone has this drive type and can tell me what
the following are, I'd greatly appreciate i
