Fortunately, one can sub a Seagate ST225 in a D9060 or a Seagate ST241 in a D9090 and they work (at the original 5MB or 7.5MB capacities at 4/6 heads and 153 tracks - the extra tracks are ignored - it's probably possible to bump the number of tracks up to 254 by altering the ROM code, but I don't recall if anyone has done that). .." oh, I did not know you could use an ST241 too, I converted my D9090 to a "D9060" by using an ST225, but I'd rather get the larger capacity if I can. I'll have to try that some time. Reply |
