* * * WARNING * * *
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used properly, that
is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions, may cause interference to radio and
television reception. It has been type tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class B
computing device in accordance with the specifications
in subpart of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such
interference in a residential installation. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
* Reorient the receiving antenna.
* Relocate the computer with respect to the
receiver.
Move the computer away from the receiver.
* Plug the computer into a different outlet
so that computer and receiver are on
different branch circuits.
* If necessary, the user sl'lould consult the
dealer or an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions.
The user may find the following booklet prepared by
the Federal Communications Commission helpful:

NarE: When interfacing with an external device, a
shielded cable must be used to comply with FCC
regulations.

1.0 Introduction
This easy to install hard disk controller is able to
control a maximum of two ST·506 type industry standard
3·1/2" or 5·1/4" Winchester disk drives under IBM PC
DOS version 2.0 or later on an IBM PC/XT or
compatible. The DTCS150XL also supports IBM PS/2
products, functioning either in the Model 25 or the
Model 30.

2.0 Jumper Option Setup Instructions
The following information pertains to the DTC·5150XL
when used with Data Technology Corporation's CXD BIOS.
..
2.1 BIOS Address and BIOS Enable Jumpers (W2)
This BIOS address jumpers (W2 pins 3·4 and 5·6)
allow the BIOS address to be relocated. The
..
default setting places it at address C800:0000.
As shown below, alternative addresses can be
selected by changing the jumpers.
The BIOS enable jumper (W2 pins 1·2) enables the
BIOS when it is installed (closed). THI S JUMPER
MUST BE INSTALLED WHEN USING THE ON·BOARD BIOS
FOR
PROPER OPERATION OF THE CONTROLLER.

NOTE: The following combinations are valid only
when using the on·board BIOS (W2 1·2 closed).
If I/O addresses 320H to 323H are to be selected,
then the BIOS address must be C800:0000 or
F400:0000. IF I/O addresses 324H to 327H are to
be selected, then the BIOS address must be
CAOO:OOOO or D800:0000.
2.2 Primary/Secondary I/O Address Jumper (W2)
* W2 pins 7·8 closed Primary port address
(320H to 323H)
W2 pins 7·8 open Secondary port address
(324H to 327H)
2.3 Software Readable Jumper (W3)
This 8 position jumper is used to manually set
the Winchester drive type. The factory setting
is for all 8 jumpers to be removed for default
auto drive configuration. In the factory mode,
no changes are required to the jumpers. However,
an option for manual setting of jumpers for
specific drive types is provided (See Section
4.1 ).
2.4 DC Power Connector (/4)
DC
power can be provided to the drive from this
connector when the controller is used as a hard
card. Refer to the following chart for pin

3.0 Cable Requirements
a. The following ribbon cables are required for
these configurations.
1. One internal drive:
One 20·conductor cable
One 34·conductor cable
]
2. lINo internal drives:
lINo 20·conductor cables
1
One 34·conductor twisted or flat daisy'
chain cable
b. The 34 pin cable connects to J1 on the
5150XL. (Note: When using a twisted cable
both drives must be set to drive select 2.)
c.
The 20 pin cable connects to J2 and/or J3.
The drive logical unit number is determined
by a setting on the disk drive, not by the
choice of cable connector J2 or J3.
(See Figure
for location of cable connectors)
4.0 Formatting The Disk
warning! The Data Technology Corporation hard
disk formatting utility will erase all data on
the hard disk! It should only be run once, the
first time you install your hard disk.
a. Place a copy of IBM DOS 2.0 or later into
floppy drive A: and apply power to the system
in the normal sequence.
b. After booting DOS successfully from the floppy drive,
execute the following command upon receiving the
"A >" prompt:
J
debug
l
(If your DOS came on two diskettes, the DEBUG
program may be on tl;Ie second diskette). Debug
will respond with a - prompt.
c. Respond to the
prompt with the command:
g=c800:5
d. This will initiate the hard disk format
utility and the follOWing message will
appear:
