Another Lacuna question... There is at least some PS/2 support for
XT-IDE (See McIDE). I have a 76i, and it has a 3c529 with a boot ROM socket. I've tried the McIDE firmware, as well as the two official
XT-IDE firmwares labeled "ps2", but I can't seem to get the system
to use the boot rom. I set a ROM location using the REF disk. Is
there more magic to this? Is there a known PS/2-compatible boot ROM
that I can use to test my setup?

thanks

I was able to achieve success with getting XTIDE to live in a 529: https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/ibm-ps-2-mca-and-xt-ide.1251073/#post-1467078

I feel there is some nuance I am missing, but given that it works I'm
just going to roll with it
