- Hi! Anybody that read this post: Thank you!
-
- A month ago my brand new Seagate WREN-9 blow-up is power-in circuitry
- and short the 5v, 12v and the ground: it cascade and softly crake
- something/somewhere/somehow on my old buddy (a Priam SCSI, Full Height
- 5 1/4" width, 320M formatted dated back in 1989, identified by 738
- or ID330-SF and its Novell certified) to end inside my switching
- power supply.
-
- 1. Priam die 2 year ago by simply shutting down the compagnie result:
- Nobody Bought Them so Nobody got the damn schematic!
-
- 2. I've call from Montreal to California (even trying Novell, because
- its Novell ceritified and they suppose to repair any certified
- drive: BULLSHIT! Is a compagnie called Micro-Dyne (spelling!) that
- do that and the first answer was: "Huh? Priam? What's that?").
- No cie out there is Pro enought to sell me those schematic and
- I'm willing to pay more that they gonna charge me to trash my drive!
-
- 3. I need any piece of schematic that can help me (even different
- model on the same serie)...
-
- x. I've send a mail to Ciacia (BYTE) and some peoples of that kind!
- Hope, hope, hope...
-
- I really need those schematic, because I can't afford to have anybody
- play with my drive for 1K and trash-it, destroy what's on it! I
- will loose a month of intense port/modif to most of the Usenet-ware
- and others Internet Packages that I was suppose to release a the
- end of the summer... for ISC 3.0!
-
- Good Side for my site: Go a Elite-2 as replacement for my WREN-9
- (Gain +300M), I've install a set of fuse on the 5v and 12v that can
- barely tolerate the Drive so any funny stuff from the Seagate drive
- or other devices are restricted, we generate a firework when we try to
- put some life back in the damaged power supply: 1 Capacitor has launch
- to finish is course deep in the ceiling, nice smoke do!
-
- So! Wanna help US (All peoples using ROT)? Pleaaase!
