Continuing the sage on 9100 hard drive copying...and random bits...
I'm working on my 9100 to get a mirror or otherwise for the hard drive. I've gone around the 'web looking for info on the controller (WD1002S-SHD) and I have gotten two possible interface results. It is either SCSI-1 or SASI. Certainly none of my SCSI controllers find the card - even my old Future Domain on a DOS 6.22 system can't find the drive (it still works). I've sent a note to Western Digital to see if they have anything buried in a drawer on this controller that might help. The two spec sheets I've found (google) show not much beyond the conflict between it being SCSI or SASI. Drat. I've not had any luck with finding it as an MFM drive either. I found an old XT MFM controller (they can be moved about in memory) but without a working MFM drive to check I don't know if the problem is in the card or the drive configuration. There aren't many working MFM drives left you know!!! Oh, well, enough for tonight on that project, now to breadboard my 68000 to 6800 test cable (testing it on an old Heathkit computer trainer). Maybe more news tonight on that project. Is anyone working on the Parallel project at this time? John :-#)#
