Hi all,
I just installed an old 50mb quantum drive as single master.
Issue:
- I encounter various issues during standard operations like: critical write error (system message from smartdrv), speedsys bench hangs during hdd bench, copy jobs led to „drive not formatted“ etc etc. Not always but sometimes.
- I ran scandisk, ndd even calibrate (min level) but no bad sectors can be found
- all other hdds are working fine
- pls note that my isa runs at 15MHz. I don’t know whether this is hdd dependent
Question:
- what could be the issue?
- might a low level format out of the bios including re-adjustment the interleave help?
Thanks a lot
