[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Bull-Micral BM30 hard disk

mussi@manolo.inria.fr (Philippe Mussi) (01/31/91)

Hi netlanders!

I have a (very old) Bull Micral BM 30 (XT-compatible), with a dying 10M hard
disk . I also got an ST225...
Unfortunately, the HD has a rather strange controller, made of two boards:
	-a combined SCSI-serial-floppy board (marked Bull-Micral)
	-a SCSI-ST506 converter, marked Xebec
The HD itself is a Microscience (ST506, 10M)

Does somebody know how I can replace this HD? How may I ll-format it?
(as you imagine, I lost the original disks, which were supposed to contain
an HDFORMAT.EXE...)

I am not sure that this message found its way outside INRIA, so I repost it:
