-
- The last time I was in Sunnyvale, I went to Fry's and bought
- an RLL controller. To be exact, it's (supposed to be) a 16-bit
- 1:1 RLL controller for 2 hard drives and 2 floppies.
-
- I brought it back to New Jersey with me, tried the board in my '286
- clone and all it does is lock up my machine. The controller board
- has about a dozen jumpers on it. So, I called Fry's and they tell me
- that they have no documentation for it, they don't know who the
- manufacturer is and I should set it up "by trial and error"?!
- (The story is much more convoluted and I might post the details at
- a later date, but these are the basic facts).
-
- Hopefully, by describing the board, someone might recognize the
- manufacturer and help me secure the proper documentation, or at
- least point me in the right direction...
-
- DESCRIPTION:
-
- o 16-bit card, Western Digital chip-set.
-
- o Silk-screened to the component side is "WA6-VR" (model number?)
- and what looks to be a logo: a capital letter "C" with a
- letter "L" inside it. (LC? CL?)
-
- o Etched into the traces on the solder side of the board is
- the word "UNIC" (the board maker)?
-
- If you have one of these boards (and documentation!), or any
- leads on where I can obtain information on how to set the jumpers,
- please send e-mail to me at the address below.
-
- Thanks!
