This is actually a good question. It is user mode which would qualify as
manually, but I can't remember if the values for CHS were actually entered
manually by copying them from the labels, or using the auto detect BIOS
feature. I do recall it look a lot of effort to figure this out, as any
mistake and the system would not detect the hdds or boot altogether.

Yes, the slave drive is an old windows98 system with a fat32 partition.
I can simplify the setup - remove all CDROM drives and the slave hard drive
and leave only one hdd and the floppy to see if there is any change.
