- I happen to have a WD1002A-27X. I was told by experts here that it definitely
- would work, but SSLLOOWW, on a machine with an AT bus. It has only two jumpers
- none of the kind you say.
- I also have several WD1004-27X, and I also have THE DOCUMENTATION for the 1004
- family (1004 and 1004A both -27X).It's also an XT oriented controller (8 bits).
-
- Sure enough there is jumper W28 which "allows the controller to operate with
- an XT computer when the jumper is OUT". It says nothing else, which may of
- course be interpreted as "put a jumper in position W28 if you want to have
- a controller that will work with no computer"... ;-)
