you want to spend hundreds of dollars for a couple meg HDD
Still, I think I'm OK here, I just don't know the magic commands to
format the drive and continue on with the process. I suppose I should
have sent the drive to someone with a working install, so they could
reduce another variable for me (maybe my WD controller card is bad, dunno).
I *probably* should just punt on this machine, but I've gotten it this
far, and I really want to get it going...

More good
news. List member Jon (not sure of last name) sent me a
known good ST251 to use on the K10. Installed, it spins up, and
hdskfmt seems to claim the entire drive is good (which I know it is,
but I wanted the app to know it as well).
Jim, if these are SO rare in USA, I can find and send you some in
Brazil :o)
