A friend of mine has a CMS harddrive on his mac and he was told by a dealer that one of his EPROMS is toast. Could he fix that by buying a new case (Like Tutlin) or is it in the physical Hard Drive?

It is probably on the SCSI controller attached to the drive. Given another identical drive and an EPROM burner, he could copy the EPROM from the good drive and put it in his damaged one. -- Matthew T.
