I have a problem.  Right now I am try to add a Seagate ST419 hard drive to my
system.  At present I am using a Western Digital XTGEN2 MFM hard drive
controller with another ST419.  Problem is, I can not get the controller
to recognize the second ST419.  I know it has something to do with the drives
terminating resistor or the drive number itself (both are setup to be drive
zero).  My question is, how can change the second drive so it will be drive
one?  Or am I doing something wrong here?  I have no documentation whatsoever
on the drives (they were freebies).  Please reply via email.  Thanks in
advance.
