- GENERAL
- INFORMATION: Occasionally customers want to use one of our old 286B file
- servers as a standalone workstation. This machine was
- designed strictly as a file server and the BIOS looks for a
- channel one disk controller to boot from a DCB. This poses
- a problem if a person wants to replace the DCB with a
- standard channel zero Western Digital type controller for
- use as a workstation. They would be forced to obtain a
- custom BIOS.
-
- Recently a customer reported that they installed a DTC 70287
- controller in place of the DCB and it worked.
