Re: Winny problem
Hi,
I am glad all is okay now.
I had a look at a Miracle Hard Drive I have. It has v2.08n rom.
I will make a copy of the rom and send it to Dilwyn for his web site.
The hard drive interface is a Seagate ST11R. I have found a PDF copy of the interface. Which details the installation and formatting process in DOS.
I just have to make a power cable for the STR11R intetface.
So hopefully Winnie will be working will Minnie again...

Re: Winny problem
If I want to replace the internal hard drive which model I need?
I see that the Winny mount a 3,5" Hard Drive and not a 5,25" as I suppose (not the ST-506/ST-412).
I need to repair another one that I found.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards.

The most similar Hard Drive to the Winny one seems this one:

Re: Miracle Hard Drive problem (Hard Disk Replace)
Any ST506 drive should work as long as the CHS matches or exceeds the original.

Re: Winny problem
Miracle hard drive supports four different drive types. The drive ident is read from port 322 (usual PC hardware port for first drive) and used to ascertain drive parameters from table below.Outsoft wrote:If I want to replace the internal hard drive which model I need?

If drive identity not matched then default is last column.
