I recently acquired an old IBM RT-6051 tower which has number of 
cards using the AT-bus configuration.  I own a 386-DX and was wondering
which of these cards would be usable with my 386, particularly the
Extended ESDI drive interface, the Token Ring Adapter, the Ethernet
adapter, and the video card.  I have managed to get the ESDI card's
floppy drive controller to work in my 386, but the part I want to use, 
the hard drives, would not be recognized.  Does anyone out there know
why this might be and also what "type" drive the full-heights that came
with the RT would be considered by an AT bios
I would appreciate your help and information.
Responses could be posted or mailed.
