Ha! Gotcha! :-(
All the time I was misunderstanding you - you have the _IDE_ version that
plugs directly to the IDE interface, while my version is an ISA card which
installs its own BIOS in order to mimick an IDE drive... Forgive me, it's
late here and I'm a bit tired... These versions are completely different
beasts then...
So, this is a bad news for me. But we'll try to use its BIOS to do the
thing...
