Re: Fluke 9100 service disk?

<x-flowed>
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...
