        Is there a way to modify the AT drive just after it
        is copied from ROM to RAM? I've got a CDC 94155-87 HD
        that I want to add and the drive specs don't match
        closely enough to any entry in the AT drive table. 

        I'm not a big fan of ROM upgrades, or reburning ROM
        chips, so anything that can be done via a device driver
        or something would be perfect.

        Thanks.
