Subject: Re: Help with drivparm?

  Hi Chad,
    The XT does think that it is a #360 drive and the drive is the one you
sent me.  Since the drive seems to be in working order and since the
computer works when I place the old 5.25 back into the slot I am thinking
that it is a config problem.  In this older computer there is no config
screen so I must have to do something in the config file I think to get the
computer to acknowledge the drive as #720.  The drivparm line I used was the
one listed below in your reply.
    BTW, have you a source for those old Zeneth Super Sport laptops?  I've
been trying to find one hopefully #386 but will settle for less but cannot
locate any in dealers used inventories?
     Thanks for any suggestions,
        Mark
