Here's the first one. I have a clue on this one. ------------------------ HDERR ST:71 EF:4 CL:EE CH:2 SN:E SC:2 SDH:24 DMACNT:FFFF DCRREG:9C MCRREG:C700 Fri Apr 6 18:39:19 1990 WD2010 ST=/WrtF/Sekg/Err/ EF=/Abrt/ cy=750. sc=14. hd=4. dr#=0. MCR2:0x0 Fri Apr 6 18:39:21 1990 drv:0 part:2 blk:84919 rpts:1 Fri Apr 6 18:39:22 1990 ------------------------ I got Milton's hardware notes just a few minutes from osu, and if I'm reading correctly, I may have faulty power on this one. The next group is more interesting... ------------------------ HDERR ST:51 EF:40 CL:3E CH:3 SN:27 SC:1 SDH:21 DMACNT:FFFF DCRREG:99 MCRREG:8700 Fri Apr 6 21:06:02 1990 WD2010 ST=/Sekg/Err/ EF=/CRC/ cy=830. sc=39. hd=9. dr#=0. MCR2:0x1 Fri Apr 6 21:06:04 1990 ------------------------ Did you notice sector number 39 up there? I did! I'm fuzed and condazed on this one. It sez 'EF:40' so that means CRC error, right? What is it doing with 'SN:27' ? How could it even find the sector? Maybe it's masking off a bit, using :17. But that's still invalid. OK maybe it's masking with '0x0f', but then it can't read sector 16, which isn't used anyway. :-( But WAIT! There's more... ------------------------ HDERR ST:51 EF:40 CL:3E CH:3 SN:27 SC:1 SDH:21 DMACNT:FFFF DCRREG:99 MCRREG:8500 Fri Apr 6 21:06:05 1990 HDERR ST:51 EF:40 CL:3E CH:3 SN:27 SC:1 SDH:21 DMACNT:FFFF DCRREG:99 MCRREG:8500 Fri Apr 6 21:06:06 1990 HDERR ST:71 EF:4 CL:A8 CH:1 SN:20 SC:2 SDH:22 DMACNT:FFFF DCRREG:FA MCRREG:C300 Fri Apr 6 22:24:00 1990 WD2010 ST=/WrtF/Sekg/Err/ EF=/Abrt/ cy=424. sc=32. hd=10. dr#=0.

I ran the diagnostics and they either failed completely and I had to reboot; or they worked fine. Something I read suggested a power supply problem. I switched it out and I have had no more problems at all for about 9 months. My conclusion was, odd Hard Drive errors suggests power supply problems until proven otherwise. -- R. K.
