Our RTs use ordinary AT hard disk controller cards.  We had added a
3rd party OEM Seagate 30M drive (originally intended for and used in
an AT) to one machine.  If you are running 4.3, you can use
"diskpart", "sautil", "minidisk", etc. to get the machine to
understand what the disk is, how it is to be partitioned, etc.  Of
course, this interface is slower than ESDI, but since we don't have
any ESDI hardware to play with...
