Hello,
My my name is Cliff Boyer and I too have a Kaypro 10 problem.
Sounds a little like a 12-Step meeting....hello, my name is Kirk and I have a Xerox 16/8
problem..:-)
I'm having the same sort of problem with my Xerox, with a Shugart 512 10MB HDD. I can
put the drive on another MFM controller and it will initialize and format just fine with
no errors, but on the WD controller in the Xerox under CPM it takes hours and hours to
initialize and verify...then when I try to make partititons, CPM reports an error, that
there is data on the disk, and dumps me back to the initialization routine. Could this
possibly be the controller and is there any alternative to spending $75.00 to get another
one?
