This machine came with a Conner CP-2024 2.5" HDD as standard equipment. Of course, I cannot expect the machine to operate... yet.
What bothers me tho, is the hard drive... I am able to remove it and connect it to my XP thru a USB box... which recognizes it and all that.
Problem is that it APPEARS to be... sick/defective/broken or some combination. While the USB box talks to it and knows what it is, there seems to be no evidence that there had ever been a format (low, high or whatever) applied to this drive.
I fear that the drive (and any software that MAY have been on it) are lost.
I dont intend to give up on it yet... at least not until the floppy drive issue is resolved and a DOS boot is achieved... Perhaps after that, I can coerce it into accepting a spare 40GB drive I have lying around!
Cart-before-the-horse issue here, but I am hoping soon to find a 1MB memory stick for the expansion... Oooohh... 1.6 Mb. Can I handle it? :shocked:
