Hi all,
I've always been attached to my PS/2 model 30, it's where all started. I used them at school when I was a teenager and I remember the funny noise those stepper-driven HDDs were making.
When I got a PS/2 I was so sad that the HDD was not working and my investigation seems to point to a common material degradation inside the drive. That means that all those drives will likely fail or have failed already.
So I decided to try to control the stepper motor myself and I made a video out of it I am pretty impressed by the result. Not hearing the HDD when that orange switch it flipped was really missing half of the experience.
What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
