Well I have a fix that I originally wrote for version 1.5.1.1 and then 
modified it for version 2.0.  It seems to work fine using the LB 
addressing mode of the IDE specifications.  The only hardware reuirements 
are a drive that supports LB addressing (almost all large drives do) and 
a set of BIOS (either your SYSTEM BIOS or BIOS on an IDE Controller) that 
support this mode and allow LBA translations.  I will send you the fixed 
versions of the 3 files that need to be changed, 'bootinfo.h', 'wd.c', 
and 'wdreg.h'.  If you have any questions, just let me know.

Take it easy.....
