Plus Hardcard 20 software?

Chuck Guzis wrote: Correct, it doesn't. It relied on the software to do the formatting. I was attempting to reformat it so that I could get more speed out of it (interleave is 5:1 on the disk but my 8088-2 clone runs at 9.54MHz and can do faster). I borked it trying to use HDPARM. Thankfully Jerry Wright was able to find the original diskette and I have restored the drive to service! Awesome! I was attempting to use another hardcard, a "Karddrive 20" with an "Octagon Drive" (it looks like an MFM drive in the shape of an oblong octagon) and the first time I tried to use it, every other character in the ROM was goofy. The second time I tried, it was perfect and I could read the drive's contents (but regrettably did not back them up). The third time, the ROM read all 00's and the drive was useless. (This was all in the course of 10 minutes!) Can I assume that the EEPROM has faded for good? -- Jim Leonard (trixter at oldskool.org) http://www.oldskool.org/ Help our electronic games project: http://www.mobygames.com/ Or check out some trippy MindCandy at http://www.mindcandydvd.com/ A child borne of the home computer wars: http://trixter.wordpress.com/
