I recently purchased an IBM AT with a Priam 59.8 meg hard disk, and
have been having a devil of a time trying to get it to work properly.
The problem is this:  I am trying to install both MS-DOS and SCO Xenix
System V on it.  If I use the Priam edisk program (an fdisk
replacement), the drive works fine for MS-DOS, but Xenix will not
install properly.  If I try to use IBM's fdisk, Xenix installs fine,
but MS-DOS returns an 'invalid drive specification' error whenever I
try to read or format the DOS partition.  Both SCO and Priam agree
that I need to use IBMs fdisk (edisk is apparently writes a
nonstandard boot block that is incompatible with Xenix), but neither
can tell me what I have to do to get MS-DOS 3.1 to recognize the
drive.  I hope someone on the net is familiar with this problem and
can suggest a solution.  Please respond by mail.

Thank you
