I suspect that this will probably not work...but you may be lucky. XT's
use jumpers or software on the card for determining hard drive parameters,
where all AT class machines have this in some sort of BIOS setup. If you
have a card which can be jumpered (I've got a couple like that) between XT
or AT you'll be alright. Also, if your Pentium has an IDE controller on
board, make sure you shut it off or it may conflict (though didn't xt and
at controllers use different interupts or something??). I'd say your best
bet is a 16 bit AT MFM controller card, that should work in your Pentuim
for sure.
