I had one of those in my old PC--that is, my ORIGINAL PC.
(I installed it several years after the PC came out.)
Hmm...I think I might've upgraded the BIOS in that machine.
And I recall it as being a 31 or 32 meg drive. In any case, that
drive is clearly designed for an 8088-architecture machine. And
I think I recall that if you can't get an upgraded BIOS, which
would let you boot up from the C: drive, you might still be able
to get your computer to recognize the C: drive.
