I am trying to revive an old Seagate ST-412 full-height 10Mb hard disk. My hard disk controller has "Super Bios II Formatter Rev. 1.0 Copyright Western Digital 1988" and I have used it to low-level format two other drives (not the same type) with no problems. The drive select light goes on but almost immediately I get "Error Code 40." Would like to find out (a) what this means, (b) what book I should buy, etc., so I can answer this sort of question for myself the next time. TIA! David H. Copp WS2I (201) 829-4337 copp@bellcore.com
