Looking at a Western Digital "FileCard 30" consisting of a Seagate 
ST-125 and WDQC16 8-bit ISA controller. MFM I believe.

I put a sticker on it with: "io=0x320, irq=5, dma=3 615/4/26 (or 614)"

The thing has its own BIOS and if If I'm not mistaken it could only live 
in an AT+ with all other drives in the BIOS turned of. This might mean 
I'd be capable of testing it from a boot-floppy only but if you 
desperately want a tester, I'll try to volunteer ;-)

I remember using DOS "debug" to jump into its BIOS low-level format 
routine so I did get it doing something...
