What make/manufacture/brand is your card?
I'm beginning to think that the card must say ATA
to be able to boot.
So I'll need to know what to look for on eBay.
Oh well, It's still very useful just as it is, it just means
that my control apps must still have a floppy to boot up.
At least I can get rid of the somewhat fragile hard drive.
Unlike almost all of the rest of the world, I still write and
run lots of dos, embedded Linux, and CP/M (anybody remember that) apps
in control and data logging applications.
One of these is an marine autopilot that keeps the boat
on course when we get a double header (big salmon)
and have better things to do..
Thanks, Bert
