NOTE 1: AT&T 6300 - The AT&T 6300 and the AT&T 6300 PLUS
contain system BIOS chips that support the hard disk drive.
When using a Western Digital XT controller card the system will
not "boot." To solve this problem, one of the ROM BIOS chips
must be disabled. To disable the BIOS on your Western Digital
XT controller card, you must remove the jumper at position W-3
or add a jumper at position R-23 (depending on which model of XT
controller you are using).

NOTE 2: TANDY 1000 SYSTEMS - The WD1002A-WX1, WD1004A-WX1,
WDXT-GEN2 and the WD1004-27X can be modified to operate in
Tandy 1000 series computers, models SX, TX and the original or
"A" version. These computers utilize an interrupt of 2 (IRQ2)
instead of IRQ5, the IBM standard. To modify the WD1002A-WX1 or
the WD1002-27X to operate in these systems, you must cut the
etch between pin 1 and pin 2 at jumper position W-7. Then
solder pin 2 and pin 3 at the position (W-7). To complete the
modification, a jumper must be added to position 7 of switch S-1
(2 rows of 8 pins). PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY PHYSICAL MODIFICATION
TO YOUR WESTERN DIGITAL HARD DISK CONTROLLER VOIDS THE WARRANTY
ON YOUR BOARD. To modify the WD1004A-WX1, WDXT-GEN2 or the
WD1004-27X for your Tandy 1000 system, a zero ohm resister must
be soldered to jumper position W-27. This will change the
interrupt from IRQ5 to IRQ2.

HARD DISK CONTROLLERS FOR SCSI HARD DISK DRIVES
7000-ASC - A SCSI host adapter that serves as an interface
between the AT bus and the SCSI bus. All necessary drivers and
receivers are included, permitting direct cable connections to
the SCSI bus through a 50 pin connector and to the AT bus
through two edge connectors. The 7000-ASC utilizes jumper
configurable options that enable the address space, DMA channels
and interrupt requests to be selected to suit the end user's
application. The board also features word data transfer at 4
megabytes per second (synchronous), an on-board floppy disk
controller and a ROM BIOS. Please note that the 7000-ASC
operates using standard DOS 3.2 or DOS 3.3 only.
7000-FASST2 - This SCSI host adapter card provides the same
features as the 7000-ASC plus additional support capabilities
using software developed by Columbia Data Products. The 7000-
FASST2 will support MS-DOS 3.2-3.3, Compaq DOS 3.31, PC-DOS 4.0,
PC-MOS/386 version 2.1, XENIX, Microsoft Windows, Novell and
Sytos tape backup.
WDATXT-FASST KIT - An "unintelligent" SCSI host adapter that is
compatible with the IBM XT, AT and compatible systems. It uses
a 50 pin external SCSI bus "D" connector with a standard 50 pin
internal SCSI cable. The WDATXT-FASST can be used as both a
target and an initiator and it serves as an excellent tool for
SCSI designers. It also provides a low cost alternative for end-
users desiring to install a SCSI peripheral device such as a
hard disk drive or a tape backup unit. The kit includes an 8-bit
SCSI HBA board, manual, FASST software diskettes and an internal
SCSI cable.
