I was wondering if anyone has run into a problem after using a hard drive on a
Coco-3 and wanting to re-install it on a IBM compatible. I have a Seagate
ST225N with a Disto Super Controller II and 4 in 1 card. I also have a
compatible with a Seagate ST-01 controller ( the mate to the drive). After
using the Coco for some time, it has been taken over(by my children) but the
hard drive was not being used. I thought I would just reinstall it on the
compatible, but not so easy. The card will no longer recognize the drive. I
think this is as a result of the information written to Track 0 is not
compatible between the two machines, as is not the format (256k to 512 k
sectors,etc) I have taken the drive in to my local computer shop but after
trying all their known tricks, they can't help me. The drive does work on the
Coco; i tried reinstalling it on the Coco. Any ideas???? I an baffled on this
one. If anyone has any suggestions, please reply. Much appreciated!!!! Thanks.
