I think, however, that to use MFM disks for running DOS may not be a bad idea. According most Pentinum100 motherboard manuals, the MFM / SDEI controller is able to work on Pentinum motherboards, but I couldn't make it work on any Pentinum100 motherboard I had. (I have differnet Pentinum100 motherboards, such as, Intel Triton, or Nepturn, ASUS SIS, AUSU + Triton, OPTi, etc. ) I wonder if any one had experience to make MFM controller working on any kinds of these motherboard. The errors I got is either disk fails (on board IDE is disabled), or not a bootable disk (on board IDE is enabled). Thanks for any advice, -- /-------------- Jin Guojun ------------ v ---- Internet: g_jin@lbl.gov ----\ | Imaging & Distributed Computing | Usenet: ucbvax!g_jin@lbl.gov | | Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory | Bitnet: -- | | 50B-2239, Berkeley, CA 94720 - jin%george.lbl.gov@Csa3.LBL.Gov |
