I've been booting my system with the boot floppy I = made and have been reaching the configuration menu where I've disabled = all the SCSI/network cards I don't need so that there are no conflicts. = I've left enabled the regular IDE controller on wcd0, but at the = hardware probe between the configuration mode and the setup program, the = system can't find my hard drive. The IDE_CONF.EXE program also tells me = that I have a "Non-compatible or missing Hard Disk Controller!" = Ultra-ATA is completely backwards-compatible, so this is basically just = an ATA drive and should work fine with the built-in ATA support.
