Hard Drive Bible, 8th edition

by MPritchard＠EnsembleStudios.com

To help with questions I've asked, here's some info the Hard Drive Bible book. ----- It says July, 1996. It seems to cover older drives, up to the first one and two gig drives. in the "hard drive peramters" chapters for example: Alps America: 8 entries from 10 to 212 MB, Ampex: 4 entries, 5, 10, 15 , and 20 mb, Areal tech: 6 entries, 62 to 136mb (all IDE 2.5" notebook drives) .. BASF: 5 entires, 23, 15, 8, 10, 21mb (all MFM) etc... It's a bit PC centric. Major chapters: History of Disk Drives Interface Standards PRML tehcnology Enhanced IDE SCSI command reference What is SCSI-3? SCA Hot plugs PCI interface Choosing a Hard Drive and Controller Controller Setup and Jumpering Drive Setup and Jumpering Drive Cabling Low level Formatting DOS partitioning Macintosh Drive Installation Windows Drive Format Win95 Disk Format Novell Compsurf Hardware Compatibility Problems Common Installation Problems Troubleshooting Universal IDE parameters Hard Drive List Fine Tuning Hard Drive Parameters (by manufacturer) Controller Information (by manufacturer) Connector Pinouts Drive Jumpers CD-ROM Floppy Drives Optical Disk Drive Technology Optical Jukeboxes Optical Drive Specifications Tape Drives CSC benchmark tests Software System Notes Industry Phone List BBS Numbers Directory Glossary Index -Matt Pritchard Graphics Engine and Optimization Specialist

Just making public a catalog of what reference material you have would be great for someone searching.

I'll take a couple, please, if you're taking orders. I saw them at $30, but all I need are jumper settings sections. EZDrive (which comes with WD Hard Drives) is a good reference, has jumper settings and other neat stuff. Tell me how much you want for your time and shipping, and I'll send you a check.

Well, they do say that they solicit input from their readers on what to add for the next edition. (for instance they added the SCSI command set reference section in this edition). If it doesn't document 90% of the drives you use regularly, and those drive are not new to the last 5 years (hey, this is the _classic_ computer mailing list) then how about doing one of two things: (1) let them know what they are missing and give constructive advice on how to make the 9th edition better, or (2) Start your own reference information project Either way, we need to preserve the knowledge. -Matt Pritchard Graphics Engine and Optimization Specialist > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Shoppa [SMTP:shoppa@alph02.triumf.ca] > Sent: Friday, October 17, 1997 11:34 AM > To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers > Subject: Re: Hard Drive Bible, 8th edition > > > The Hard drive Bible?...Oh it strikes me in my brain... > > > > Do you mean that book that is filled with hard drives from A to Z > > with FULL doc on each for jumpers than what most others shown? > > Actually, the quality of information in the editions I've seen is > quite > a hodgepodge.
