I have 4 of them -- some 8-bit ISA and some 16-bit ISA -- and all of them have gone bad because the EPROM that holds the onboard BIOS has "faded" (which is odd because only two of them have the little window, the other two are sealed). Without the BIOS, you can't access the drive because the controllers are, IIRC, nonstandard. (BTW, if anyone thinks they can use them, they're yours -- I'm very close to just tossing them out.) -- Jim Leonard (trixter at oldskool.org) http://www.oldskool.org/ Want to help an ambitious games project? http://www.mobygames.com/ Or check out some trippy MindCandy at http://www.mindcandydvd.com/
