Hi!
	Can anyboby help me? I have an old Advance 86b computer with an
Adaptec hard disk controller. This machine needs a low level format. I
have done this before and know that the code is in ROM at approx c800h
however I have forgotten the start address and the manual has vanished.
The ROM has the following text in the first few positions

"ADAPTEC FD BIOS XT IBM"

Does anyone know the start address ?

Thanks in advance.
