I'm about to try the very same thing.
I have a MicroVAX II with a sigma MSCP ESDI controller.? It can be set
for soft-secoring or various numbers of hard sectors.? That is what I
see is the big issue with these drives.
A friend gave me two drives that had been written on a PC under *nix.
There is little chance this will work for the same reason you can't use
an arbitrary disk/controller combination for PC recovery.
