BUILDER WORKING DEVICES HOW TP-IDE CBIOS
Andrew Lynch Seagate ST51270A IDE hard drive Drive has NONE of the configuration jumpers set -- puts the drive in "single drive mode".  I also used a 40 pin IDE cable with the motherboard connector on the controller and the far end connector on the hard drive. I had to remove R1, R2, and R3 to get the Disk IO board to work with the drive.  All logic is 74LSxxx.
