- I know someone has been having trouble getting a WDXT-GEN controller to
- work in his 1000SX. I found this information:
-
- 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.
