I would like to compile a list of replacement hard drives for the 3b1 that people are currently using. If I could get folks to email me with disk info (make,model,size,price,access time,where purchased, satisfaction level, etc). I will summarize if anyone expresses an interest. Thanks Michael -- Michael E. Haws "Keep the blue side up" w - (303) 986-2370 boulder!yonder!michael h - (303) 232-0628

Since I now know there is an interest out there I am trying once more, hoping that perhaps the last post did not reach as many sites as possible due to the switching to the new group(3b1).

I have a *very* old copy, if you want it. I also thought that the OSU archives had a copy of this list. Realistically speaking, any standard MFM will work. Any drive from the lowly Seagate ST-506 to the huge Maxtor XT-2190 will work, although some need minor motherboard surgery to handle the increased number of heads. j -- Jeffrey L.

Michael, thanks for re-posting that list of drives. That is very useful information, especially with John Milton's HD2 board shipping. Related topic: Does anyone know if the heads on a Maxtor XT-1140 are auto-parking or not? I just got one used (I'm currently using it on a PC until I get my HD2 board.) and I want to know if I need to worky about parking the heads before powering down. Also, for anyone considering purchasing a large drive, I had heard rumors that the XT-1140's (918 cylinders,140 Meg, 120 formatted) were really the same drive as the XT-2190 (1224 cylinders, 190 Meg, 160 formatted), just not certified for the full 1224 cylinders. So I tried it. I told the controller that it had 1224 cylinders, and it went merrily along formatting it. It flagged another dozen or so bad sectors in the cylinders between 919 and 1224 (there were 47 listed in bad block list between 0 and 918), but other than that it was fine. (I'm also running it RLL instead of MFM.) I'll let you know if I have any bad experiences as a result. -- Dave Hanna, Infotouch Systems, Inc. | "Do or do not -- There is no try" P.O.
