Re: Extremely Old 4 Megabyte HD. How to hook up?
Originally posted by IntelSux
Hey, My teacher gave me an extremely old hard drive when cleaning up his old stuff. The hard drive looks ancient but probably still works fine. The model name is Seagate ST-4096. I would guestimate it's 4 megabytes in size. The thing is really huge too. It's would take up two 5.25 inch bays probably.
I want to hook it up just out of curiosity to see if it still works and what's on it. I have no idea what interface it uses or how to power it. Where could I get the necessary controllers and adapters for it? Can anyone help me out?
I'll post pictures of the hard drive as soon as I set up my web space again.
My parents had probably the same 20 mB hd as Colossus on their PC. It was on its own isa card. I always thought the first pc hard drive was 10mB - if that really is 4, its not for a pc. Is there a DATE anywhere on it?
