[comp.sys.apple2] apple 2+ hard disk:need help!

devernay@POLY.POLYTECHNIQUE.FR (Devernay Frederic) (05/29/91)

Please help me with my hard disk: It boots, it seems to work, but I want
to do a lot of things with it and I can't.
First, I must give a description of it:

It is white, with a black fan on the back, about 50cmx15cmx10cm
There is an interface card, in slot 5, with "HOST AII MP rev.1.0"
written on it, and a rom chip with a golden sticker "Host 2".
when I boot it, it writes on the screen:
FIRST CLASS PERIPHERALS
V 3.1/4.0
and then ... I/O ERROR
I can catalog it using catalog,s6,vxxx. volumes 1 to 4 are already
initialized. I don't know how much Mb this drive can contain.

my questions now:
-do you recognize this drive
-do you have a utility disk for it?
-why is there an I/O ERROR on boot?
-how much volumes can I do?
-what is its capacity?
-can I do different sorts of partitions on it (dos 3.3, prodos, pascal)?
-can you help me?
-thank you?
