Urk....sounds like bad hard drive. I am trying to figure a work-around for this,but am too busy with the Xmas season to deal with it right now. A couple of us are trying to adapt larger SCSI drives. The rev 4 service disk will format the old 20 MB MFM Micropolis drives, and I think I have found a source of some good used ones, but I just haven't had a chance to pick them up. Hope to do that in January and then I might have some spares. If you ask some older techies, they might have these drives kicking around. I am also going to experiment with some early MAC SCSI drives - they are 20 MB as well... John :-#)# At 02:14 PM 14/12/2002 +0000, steve@coule.freeserve.co.uk wrote:

Has anyone got a teledisk image of the fluke 9100 service disk? Or any other way of testing and formatting a 9100a hard disc?

My NOS 9100a is failing to boot from the HDD (first time ever!), when it boots from floppies and I attempt to copy files from the system floppies to the HDD results in error : I/O Module fuse blown!

This seems unlikely since there is no IO module or anything else for that matter plugged in.

I swapped in the noisey HDD from my other system and the machine boots just fine. I tried swapping the MFM-SCSI adaptor card but that made no difference so it's either a drive fault or it needs a reformat.

Thanks for any help,

Steve
