off of E-bay. Obviously it's some kind of disk drive tester. I
opened it up and the entire front panel is hand wired but I also
found a commercail circuit board in it. On the board it says "MFD
Checker II" "Sony" "Made in Japan". Does anyone know anything
about
a MFD checker?
Um, I'm thinking Sony diskette drive part numbers start(ed?) with MFD.
Yep, it looks to me like you got yourself a drive tester.
That wouldn't get me so excited as to forget to hit return once in
a while, but I guess it means you have a new way to play with
the stiffy drives in all that HP gear. Congratulations!

Hi Frank,
It's been a while since I've seen you post anything on the list. I wasn't
sure that you were still around.

Good point. I didn't remember that.
