[comp.sys.zenith] Hard Disk in a Z-100

Perhaps I need to clarify my problem.  By not working right off the bat I
should have said that it doesn't run prep right off the bat.

I have a Z100 that has hard drive problems but I am not sure if it is the
controller boards or if the problem is the hard disk itself.  The unit passes
the controller diagnostics but as soon as I run any of the disk diags I get
a failure.  In the hope that the problem was a hard disk I tried to install
an ST-225 in its place.  When I try to run PREP ( MS-DOS Ver 2.1 ) I get an
error.  I know all the parameters for the ST-225 so that is no problem.  What
I need to know is if there are any jumper or switch changes I must implement
on the controller or the data separator.  The old hard disk is a 10 MByte so
that may be part of the problem.  Inquiring minds want to know.


Again - Thanx in advance.
