You mention you have a newly formatted hard drive in your machine, was it a 20M as defined in the 9100 Service floppy (RV4) or something else? I'd really like to get rid of my very noisy drive...it is giving me a headache!
I have 3 of the Micropolis MFM drives. One has a bad sector 0, which is keeping the 9100 from formatting it (the boot block is stored there). One has a failed track, but the boot sector is good. The last is one I got used from another (non-9100) environment. All 3 are noisy, but I find that my fans are louder than the drive itself.
