I have recently purchased a Rodime RO5125S Hard Drive. I have been able to format it to approximately 102 meg. I bought the drive used and no manuals or specs were included beyond a bad sector list. Can anyone give me some information on this model? I have looked through some of the newer hardware catalogs for distributors that carry Rodime drives but I have not found a listing for this particular model. Is it an older model or what? I would appreciate any specs , information or phone #'s that anyone might have concerning information sources for this drive. Please E-mail to : diamond@hubcap.clemson.edu.

Rodime can be contacted at 407-994-6200 (Boca Raton, FL). One national distributer is Anthem. But a 1987 listing from Rodime says for the 5125S: 128.2 Meg unformatted, 107.1 formatted (34 sectors/track, 512 byte sectors), 3 platters, 5 heads (wierd?), 1231 cyl, 1100 tpi,833ms latency, 28ms avg seek, SCSI interface, uses RLL, auto parking heads, rotary voice coil, half-height 5.25", 18 Watts. Question for the netters: Does Rodime use one platter with one head for speed control or clocking of some sort, or do they really have data on just one side of one platter? Al
