Usual ST controller problem then though in that the PC's controller likely
won't talk nicely to the format used by the Intel machine :-(
I know. That's why I suggested Linux. With it they may be able to
program the controller to read the Intel format.

Yep :-( That or Xenix. Not
sure how to get around that one - I can get passwords on SCSI disks easy enough but I've
got no way of hooking that
ST506/412 drive to anything more modern in order to modify it :(
I wish I could help but I don't know either. I wonder if anybody has
Linux running on a system with a ST 412 controller and might be able to
hack into the drive and delete/change the password.
Someone with a few years worth of rainy days could do something from the
310's
built in debugger I suppose ;)
I've played with the debugger and I don't think it had any functions to
allow raw disk reads. BTW the debugger is simple and easy to figure out.
