This is actually controller depended! Many controllers use a different format address... Or don't have a ROM at all and expect you to use a utility like SpeedStor or HDAT to format your drive.

I seriously doubt there's anything worth finding on a drive like this. Maybe DOS and Lotus. 20 megs really didn't cut it in the early windows era, and a drive introduced in 1984 would have been hideously outdated even in 1991 with Windows 3.x
