I am only interested in the four floppy drives. I won't go into the IDE component at all, as I have deactivated it in my case (JP6=OFF). What more could you want! This FDC is also used by Adaptec in the AHA-1542B.įor an AT 286, this is the perfect card, one slot, four functions: IDE hard disk support, four floppy drives, serial and parallel interface. If you look at the print on the FDC IC ( DP8473V), you will see that this controller supports both FM and MFM.
Yes, you read that right, four floppy drives. This is an IDE hard disk controller with serial and parallel interfaces AND two interfaces for a total of four floppy disk drives.
