Ok folks, here's the biz...
The CT50, overclocked using the bus multiplier to 100MHz, will *not* operate
correctly with the IBM 20G drive. The disk testing software which comes with
the big disk manager from IBM reports the fault as a faulty cable (!) from
which I can only assume that some odd timing quirk is upsetting the drive.
At 75M, or at 100M using the CPU multiplier, it works fine.
The system allocates all the way to cylinder 1023 if allowed to so I've left
space immediately after that for hibernation. Haven't tested hibernation yet
though.
All I need now is for someome (Pres?) to tell me again which file is needed
to make W98 see the floppy...
Cheers,
Neil
