My OS/2 machine at home crashed, ---I think. It appears that the HD might have given up. Everything else checks ok. Think that the control board on the back of the HD failed. So I want to see if anyone in the OS/2 discussion group might have an identical drive in an old computer. The drive is a 356 Mb---pretty small by todays standards. So what I want to do is get an identical HD, remove the control board and put it on the OS/2 drive and see if we can salvage the data. Of course I did'nt have everything backed up. That would require being organized. The following is the HD info. Samsung--Model SHD-3172A----356MB Drive Parameters: Cylinder, 968 Head, 16 Sector, 45 The HD board is identified as, "Apollo 4". If anyone in Continential 48 states has one, they can call me toll free at, 877-654-7202. This is our PAK MAIL store number. Or at our e-mail address, < powersurge_11 at juno dot com> Thanks again, Ron Boschelli ===================END FORWARDED MESSAGE=================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 14:55:38 +1000 (EST) From: John Wildgoose Subject: liteon combo drive Hi, Has anyone had experience in using the LiteOn Combo dvd reader cd r/rw with os2/ecs? thanks jaw ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 19:14:25 +1000 From: Ed Durrant Subject: Re: liteon combo drive I haven't used this particular drive, however I'm 99% sure it'll be MMC compatible, so it should work with CDRECORD/2 or RSJ/2 without any issues.
