- I have a Series I controller with a 105MB Quantum ProDrive attached to it.
-
- I have played with the jumpers once, but there was only one that seemed to
- have any impact on the controller: the one which disables it 8-). I cannot
- find the manual right now, but if your drive does not respond at all, I suggest
- it might be that jumper (my factory setting enabled the controller--worked out
- of the box).
-
- The installation software I have dates March 29, 1989 also. I have used it under
- both WB 1.3 and WB 2.05 without problems. There was no ROM upgrade required for
- WB 2, and I know I do not have the (newer) Faast ROMs on the card.
-
- I hope this helps a little bit.
