Isn't that the IBM 0665, Type 20, 30 mb. drive like Bettablue just sold? I think that was the original drive in the AT. If so, I have one and it works perfectly.
You need Spinrite II... Version 2.0 or something old like that.Stone, it is the LLF that is failing with the write error. I can try Spinrite, but it is that very types of tests in Speedstor and the IBM Advanced Diagnostics that I've been trying to run with those errors also coming up.
Update: spinrite 6.0 won't load on this machine. It was tested in Dosbox before hand. It crashes and needs a softboot. Is there a particular old version I should be trying?
FWIW, Speedstor will test the controller in the Diagnostics section. While you're there try the seek test as well.Stone, it is the LLF that is failing with the write error.

FWIW, I have dozens of MFM/RLL drives and they're all made in Singapore or Maylasia.And, forgive me, but the drive was made in Singapore, not US .
