[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] PS/2 model 30

klimperi@uafhp.uark.edu (Kurt Limperis) (12/13/90)

My friend's PS/2 model 30 gives the 1701 fixed disk error at boot time.  After
boot-up, the HD light stays on continously.  Is this a controller or a HD
problem?  The drive is the 20MB that came with the machine. 

Is the drive MFM, RLL or what?  Will any 3.5 drive work or will I need one
made especially for the PS/2?  PS/2 drives seem pretty scarce and too 
expensive.

Thanks
