Re: RLL ST-1105R data recovery

G'day, Your right. I have ST-1150R on the post-it notes around my screen and typed ST1105R. Dash of Lexdysia. I apologise. I think not knowing much about the grease weasel the easiest thing would still be to try and find an ISA controller that knows how to drive the 1150R and hope for the best. I'm …

[/quote] FYI it is possible to recover the image of such HDD without the controller. I used Greaseweazle for that - with the help of its author as intially I wasn't proficient enough in Python to adapt the code myself (and both the PC side software and FW is not trivial). Originally I was only after …

Hi Weird_W, Thanks for getting back to me. I'll take a copy of what's there. The .se url sadly only has the top files. The bottom list is all 404 not found. Unfortunately, I have the disk mounted to the bracket without the controller. I thought I'd ask here which controller I should hunt down and …

Hello *.*;* I've managed to find a couple of Apricot Qi 330's recently which I've always wanted. Between the two, I hope to make a working example but alas some parts have been harvested. Finding docs for the Qi 330 has been difficult. Sadly, I've not been able to find details on the MCA hard disk …

Really nice! I'm most interested in the EMS support upto 4mb. I have a lo-tech card in my NuXT which I use quite heavily. Ideally I'd love a 8-16mb EMS card so I could push it in a corner and forget about it.. yes I know EMS can go upto 32mb.. but I don't think I'd benefit from more than 8mb. Very …

Does anyone know what resistor packs to put at the front? It has 3 rows. Ideally I'd love to fit a 3.3 or 3.45v CPU in mine. I've been looking for a manual for either. Thanks in advance 😀

The LoTech cards work just fine in XT's. I have one in my NEC V20 system. I just wish I could find more than 2mb on a card. Useful for things like disk cache and Borland C++ application swapping. Hmm.

There's a few of these I think are related. I'm currently trying to get a GEM-10 to work. The few times it's fired up it's proclaimed it's a P-10 motherboard. I did some internet searching and found similar BIOS strings and searched for the Peter-10. The BIOS strings say: P-10 BIOS V3.60 (C) ZETA …

Hi Pan, Thanks for the tip. I've tried a number of combinations of shift+ctrl+alt+del but it seems to ignore it. Quite a puzzle that's for sure. I'm really wondering if it's the type where you boot it and run a config util. Anymore ideas, I greatfully accept. 😀 Thanks!

There's been a fair whack of advertising on OzOrg.net also.. I dunno. Ultimately I don't think the entire situation benefited any of the communities which is sad I feel. I'm just glad there's still IRC out there in this age of stalkbook and whatsiegram.

Today I got my Olivetti PCS-86 to boot MS-DOS 3.30a off floppy drive. Getting the PSU stable was not easy and it needed a new cord. Now I need to fix the battery (easy), and somehow figure out how to get get into the BIOS (either magic key-press or a setup utility). Reeeeally interesting little XT. …

Just started on this journey. I've got my PSU stable (thanks MJN for the voltage levels, it *really* helped working backwards to find the issues). I've got the system now to the point where it'll boot MS-DOS. So, feeling chuffed. I have a rather odd question, does anyone have a scan of the user …

G'days 😀 I'd like to bring back a Presario 7400 and install the default software and config but haven't had any luck with sourcing a "QuickRestore CD" that works with it. Does anyone know of an archive? I've tried archive.org and a few other places but no dice. Ideas? Thanks 😀
