Re: More Kaypro problems
I'm having the same sort of problem with my Xerox, with a
Shugart 512 10MB HDD. I can put the drive on another MFM controller and
it will initialize and format just fine with no errors, but on the WD
controller in the Xerox under CPM it takes hours and hours to initialize
and verify...then when I try to make partititons, CPM reports an error,
that there is data on the disk, and dumps me back to the initialization
routine. Could this possibly be the controller and is there any
alternative to spending $75.00 to get another one? >

It sounds very likely that you have a controller problem.
