Dear All, Thanks to many, many replies to my "hard disk problems" message, I now have at least the MiniScribe working again. As mentioned before, it refused to show the green light after power-up; this appeared to be a loosened tap on the stepper motor. According to some of you, this happens quite often (especially in Canada after thunder- storms!)... :-( Anyway, I re-adjusted this thingie, powered it up, and it ran ! It needed a low-level format, but after that I could use it again. So: thanks to y'all ! Now, to get the quirks of of the Seagate 251... :-( Fred. +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | MINIX User Group Holland UUCP: waltje@minixug.UUCP | | c/o Fred van Kempen, or: waltje%minixug@plains.nodak.edu | | Hoefbladhof 27 | | 2215 DV VOORHOUT "Love is - what you want it to be. | | The Netherlands Alannah Myles" | +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+
