I want to move my Quantum PD1800 from a computer with an NCR controller 
to one with an Adaptec 2940 controller.
When I do this, I get the old F? problem or "Missing Operating System" 
which I suppose has to do with an incompatible geometry with the Adaptec 
controller. I've tried toggling >1 gig translation but get the same 
thing. Are there any other things I can do in the setup to get the 
Adaptec to recognise the OS? If I put it back on the NCR it works fine.
