I recently purchased a secondary floppy controller for my Zenith 241 (AT).

My problem is that when I try and use it DOS complains that the previously 
formatted floppy I am using is a Non-DOS Diskette.  This even happens when I
format a new disk:  DOS formats the whole disk and then gives me the message
as it is finishing up.  This newly formatted disk works fine when accessed via
the primary controller.

I remember some discussion about this a few months ago, unfortunately I did
not save any of the articles.  I believe it has something to do with length
of magic number and how different types of BIOS look at it differently.


I am looking for the specifics of where and what this magic number is (and
what it should be) so that I can patch the firmware and then replace it with
a newly burned controller eprom.

Thanks much.
