Hi,
We need to recover some data off an old MFM drive. We've got a bunch of those cards, we've got a bunch of drives to experment with, but once we get things working we'll recover some 2x20Mb of data off two 20Mb drives.... We've tried the modern IDE driver, and the 2.4.20 one, and the "old hd only" driver.
Going "retro": Compiling 2.0.39 gives me: "bus error" while doing make dep.
I THINK we have a couple of those cards that don't have any interrupts. Would Linux be able to work with those?
Yes, we pass "hda=615,4,17" to the IDE driver.
Any suggestions of things to try?
Roger.
