VRM can't see IDE hard drive.

Show all headers | View raw

Hi All! Is anyone still out there?

I restored my IBM RT back in 1999. I put it into storage and now I am
going through the whole process again. I forgot everything....well
almost.

Older Seagate hard drives are getting pretty hard to find, so I have
tested my entire collection of old 4 GIG + drives. I found only one
that would allow VRM to boot without giving the LED code of 35.

Dboot will see the hard drive fine and configure it. VRM will not see
it at all and I have no option available to select a drive.

I have read that some people used an "updated" VRM and I am not sure I
am using that. I had the correct software at one time, but can't find
my archive form 1999.

The drive I am using is a Samsung 4 GIG....so the easy answer is that
I have to use a Seagate. I would LOVE to use a CF to IDE adapter!!!

Any ideas???

Thanks,
John
