I wonder if those drive duplicators might be in order here. There are the ones that can mirror ANY drive onto another drive, MFM to MFM etc. You see the adds in the pages of Nuts & Volts etc. Anyone have one of those machines? We could 'breed' spare drives then. John :-#)# At 11:25 AM 4/15/2001, you wrote:
I have a 9100FT, which I'm assuming the reference to a 9000 is also to.
What ever that is...(MAC? It is a 68000 based system I believe) In the case of the 9100FT, its OS/9 based.
If anyone has the 9000 unit, the hard drive in them is either a SCSI or a MFM with a SCSI -> MFM interface board. There would be a SCSI port on the rear that you can copy the internal hard-drive to a backup drive (I'm definitely going to do this!)
Mine has a MFM drive, with a SASI-to-MFM interface board. The 9100FT has a SASI mainboard interface. SASI pre-dates SCSI, I know their busses are similar, but I'm not sure if SCSI is a drop in replacement.
My drive has failed, and I have no boot floppies for the 9100FT. A post for help on some message board somewhere returned a few responses of people that support the 9100FT and may be able to help me get a working SCSI drive and/or floppies.
