Re: How to use a WD1002S-SHD MFM - to - SCSI (SASI?) adapter card

John,

I presume that if you plug in a new SCSI disk onto the 9100 there is a
problem?

The 5380 driver for OS-9 comes bundled with OS-9. The release at the
time may not have been able to handle drives >2Gb though. As a first
step, I'd suggest trying an older SCSI hard disk <2Gb in size and see if
that works.

Worst case it may be that the Fluke software itself is tied specifically
to this drive configuration.

Is the drive readable on standard 68K OS-9 System? Has anyone tried
that?

Regards,

Paul.
