Hello all.
I have a Quadra 800 I'd like to get running again. It ran fine up until maybe a year or two ago when the hard drive stopped working. (No grinding noises, no smoke, etc. so I'm hopeful those are good signs.)
It's a Seagate 500 MB drive. Label on the front says "EPROM©1992". I think the Quantum drives are the ones that have problems with rubber getting problematic over the years, but are there similar issues with the Seagate drives? Or any other known issues with the Seagate drives?
There's a file on the drive I'd like to get off of there if possible. It's not important enough to send to a pro for recovery, but I was thinking if there were known issues and something I might be able to fix, I'd give that a try. If I could get the drive working again to be usable as well (at least until the ever "out of stock" SCSI2SDs become available again) that would be a bonus.
Thanks!
