I wouldn't be so extreme in my feeling of doom, Gene. There are easy ways to
recover.
You could get one of the "approved" drives, which might cost $5 on eBay (plus
shipping - be sure to get the thing insured!) or one of the "approved" bridge
boards and a suitable drive.

Dick

CP/M bios
which is not the boot rom. The reason for that is
the Drive tables and the controller tables in the
install(HDINIT) and format(HDFMT) will not work for all but a
limited subset of possible drive/controller setups. The only
SCSI drive directly supported was the ST157N and maybe the
ST296N might work.
So since I've got this Miniscribe 8425S, I'm totally fscked and it's
basically a nice floppy-only paper weight. Oh joy. Be still my heart.

If you have the proper version of the HD
Utilities, you
should not need
to do any.
- don
Only if you have a supported controller and drive, otherwise
they do not help you much.
