In the next week, I should be cutting a few bootable HP diagnostic library
discs for both 7900 and 7905/6 media.
If someone is in dire need to replace their properly licensed diagnostic set
& media, contact me off-list.

Jay,
This reminds me. I saw a 7906 laying in a scrap yard a few days ago. I
don't know the condition, it was upside down in the dirt and under a large
wire basket. Is there any parts that I need that I can get off of it readily?

Funny you should mention that. A spindle motor would be nice. Takes a bit of
work to get out though, and they are actually pretty delicate. If you take
the spindle motor out you should (and would have to already) take the fixed
platter out. Since it's a servo pattern based drive (with a different
magnetic coating for the servo surface) those are great to have as spares.
All 4 heads, especially the servo head. The large power board in the bottom,
and the 4 (or 5 if it's an H model) circuit boards from the card cage pull
easily. The main things I need are spindle motor, and I/O sector board.
I could definitely use those parts.

I'm sorry, I got your emails but didn't think you were looking from a
response from me on them, thought they were just "FYI". I'll go back and
re-read!

I'll see what I can do. I hope they haven't scrapped it yet. I saw it
last weeek and meant to ask you about it but forgot.

Jay,
Well I missed out on the drive. I went out there twice but it was
raining both times so I couldn't dig it out. I went back today but someone
had beat me to it. I'll let you know if anothe one shows up.

Thanks for checking Joe. I'm trying to get my last 7906 refurb done for
another collector, and so far I think a spindle motor is the only fly in the
ointment. The 7905/06 spindle motors are interchangeable.

So..I guess I'd better get working on my end-of-the-line 7905 to get a
spindle motor out eh?
