I am wondering what's wrong with the original drives. IMHO it'd be a lot
easier to repair them. Docs exist, and it's not hard to find other drives
to take parts from. The worst job is replacing the head (as you have to
do a full alignment), but even that would probably take less time than
you've spent so far.
Nothing is wrong with them. I want to connect up a couple more drives on
my system and checkout some drives to send to someone else that's missing
some. I expect I could hook up drives easily if I ignored the adapater
cards and strange addressing but I'm trying to understand what intel was
doing.
To answer an earlier question: I think all of these use the 800-3 model
drives. That's what I remember seeing in a couple of them but I haven't
checked two of the boxs and it's chore to get them out of the rack and then
out of the cases to read the model number.
