*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** for the line eater ************************ Someone just gave me a vintage 1980 Morrow hard disk system. This is a 14" 26 mb monster with a s100 controller card. I have an h100 (HEath/zenith) s100 system running msdos 2.11. I also need help! can any one give me some advice on this thing? how about device drivers for disk systems --- does any one have the source code for a programmed transfer device suchas a hard disk that they could share with me. what problems am i getting into (s100 compatibility? etc) can i convert the controller (sa4000 compatible to sa506 412 etc )??? then i could chuck the drive for one of the cheap 10 or 5 mb drives! I know this seems strang in a world of $400 hd's for the PC but not when you consider that the cheapest controller for an s100 is about $600 and with a drive that comes to $700+ which my spouse doesn't think is necessary (i tend to agree with her). should i chuck the whole thing and try for something more plausible such as world peace by year end or faster than light travel??? you may reach me by: liber at DARTH via Pitt Eric Liber 87 Chapel Dr Pittsburgh, Pa 15237 tele : home : 412 367 7308 work: 412 937 6226 Thanks in advance for your help (ps if you would like to buy a 14" 26 mb drive and controller -- lets talk!!)
