Thank you. I had thought that tantalum capacitors burnout was caused by reverse voltage, so I was relieved to learn that that defect is common.

The installer did not detect the SCSI BOLT on system 7.5. I used it on 7.1. Maybe pressing the Drive button installs the driver. I first pressed the Initialize button and it took over 2 hours for 4GB. Even now it seems fast enough.

This may not be the right thread to ask this, but if you know, please let me know. A few days ago I turned on my Dash 30fx for the first time this century. A few seconds later the capacitors on the 5.25" full height Seagate hard disk burned. I ordered a 33µ tantalum capacitor, is there anything...

Is this useful? I was able to initialize and mount an HD connected to a SCSI BOLT card in a PDS slot on my Dash 30fx. I was also able to boot from that disk.
