- I thought the ultrastore 24F had a WDxxxx compatibility mode that
- you could enable so you could boot anything that will work on
- a standard PC type controller. I loaded AT&T sysvr3.2 on a machine
- with one once to try it out. In that mode you are limited to
- two drives, but once you are running you can then load the
- drivers for non-emulation mode. However, at the time I didn't
- have any r4 driver for it and the machine ended up running DOS.
