I'm aware of the issues that CF cards can have. That's why I went for industrial grade CFs as this one (attached the specs). I'm not a 100% sure but I doubt that it's a problem with the CF. After booting from the floppy I can read all the files on the CF that have been previously installed.
Nevertheless, I tried to hook up the oldest HDs I have (a 170Mb Quantum ProDrive ELS and a 540Mb Quantum Maverick. I entered the C/H/S parameters in the BIOS setting but the system failed to recognize the HDs. I even got a HD interface error. So not sure what that means. I need to get hold of a proper ISA IDE controller. This might indeed be the issue. It's funny though that that of all storage devices the HDs from that period would not get recognized by the system.
