- The WD2010 is NOT completely compatable with the WD1010 hard disk
- controller chip. There are some Unix PC's that can't use it. The main
- circuit board had to be modified by the factory to use the 2010 and
- early versions of the Unix PC can't even have this modification done.
- See the DRUN patch discussion in the FAQ for details.
- But with a little luck, switching the disk controller will work.
