Well, that sounds about the same vintage as my old Seagates, which were either
SCSI of MFM/RLL drives. The controllers for these were hardwired for the
drive, and contained their own boot BIOS. If the PC doesn't recognise it maybe
the disk is bad/unformatted? Try booting up a PC - maybe the 486 - with the
drive installed, then FDISKing to see if the drive/controller is actually
appearing on INT 13h.
