386 WGS E Novell COMPSURF prob.

[feejw at stat.appstate.edu]

does anyone know how to disable the sector translation on a 6386 E Tower 20mhz
machine?  The controller is a WD1007a-wah ESDI with a Micropolis 320meg drive. 
This is the config shipped from att.  The problem I have is that when I try to
COMPSURF the drive under Novell I get a error message immediately that the
drive failed to format.  I know the drive has 1221 cyls, 15 heads and 34
sectors/trk; COMPSURF reports the drive as having something like 853 cyls, 15
heads and 60 some sectors/trk.  I've had this problem before with ESDI drives
and NOVELL and got around it by disabling the sector translation. 
Unfortunately, this wd card is not like the others I have used or have doc for.

The card has a 62-002068-802 rom on it and 3 jumpers; I tried jumpering and
unjumpering the jumpers but didn't have any luck.

Any ideas about what the problem may be or how to disable the translation will
be greatly appreciated; thanks a bunch.
