Western Digital, !e!x!c!e!l!l!e!n!t! Customer support.  Told me to get
three progams to take care of the problem.

Fault.

Speciality controller card designed to allow a 8/16 bit Tandy TL/2 1000
with a built in 8 bit HD IDE interface to use a 540meg HD.  The remapping
of the drive access is so \/\/eird that the WD diagnostics can't find the
drive.  At all.  Not a trace.  And that's RUN from the drive no less.

Will Definately run programs once I get a 'real' computer.
