As you seem to have used these 2.88 drives before: do I need to do something
special when I install a 2.88 into a PC? I set the BIOS setup to 2.88
and hooked up the drive. I'm using WinNT (I know...) to check if the drives
are OK in the first place. Does one need a special cable maybe?
Reason for asking: on neither of the 2 drives WinNT wants for format.
Rather it does 1E6 retries (judging from the sound the drive makes). This
is on new 2.88Mb media
