- Well, having bought a Tos 2.05 MSTe 4/50 with a 1.44 drive in it, that
- was not working, I have now upgraded it to TOS 2.06, and installed a newer ajax
- chip. However still no luck. From the desktop the machines ALWAYS fails a
- format of a HD disk somewhere very soon after the 40th track.
- I have tried disconnecting the power to the hard drive to see if it was a
- power supply problem, but the same thing continued. Thus, I am not at a
- complete loss as to possibilities. I changed to newer TOS, a new Ajax chip,
- and reduced the load on the power supply, without any noticeable change to
- the formatting of HD floppies.
- Anyone have any further suggestions?
