They were used with a DIFFERENT QD21. I had to update
THIS
QD21 firmware to a rev level that had the field resident
diagnostics. I gave away my old QD21 at VCF a while ago.
Does the QD21 see or sense the drives?
Yes, when the uVAX tries to boot, the drives seek and
recalibrate several times and then I get a ??DSK ERR?? message.
I have scribbled notes of the config params on the smaller
disk, and I will try those next time.
Thanks,
