Tony... what were the pins of that chip on the HFDC that you jumpered to >bypass the hard drive search? I used to have that info a LONG time ago, >back when my only hard drive conked out (that darn Seagate ST-138 piece >of junk) and I wanted to boot quickly from floppy. Thanks! > > - Ken It's chip U21, connect pin 1 to ground. I connected these through the keyswitch on my tower case so I could turn the MFM hard drive on & off. Note: the power must be turned off for the change to occur, a reset will not do it. Also, the standard warning is in effect, I'm not responsible if you fry your HFDC, yadda, yadda, ..... Tony
