that used a ST-225. I know at least one model of the
9133 uses the ST-225
but don't remember which one it was without looking at my notes however I
THINK it was a 15Mb model.
That's interesting. The 9113H uses an ST225 I think (it's certainly a
normal ST506 interaced hard disk). If there's a way to replace the drive
in that with any old ST225 ripped from a PC or something then I'll be
rather happy. I'd also be interested if anyone has worked out what the
Ident Sea settings correspond to.
I successfully replaced the ST225 in a 9133 with an ST238 (same drive, but
certified for RLL). It was connected to an HP64000 development system,
which supported formatting, IIRC (I no longer have the drive).
Do you remember which model 9133 it was? What did you have to do to
format the new drive? I have to admit that even though I've had a few
64000s, I've never used one and I'm not familar with it's OS.
