I am trying to put a generic Micropolis model 1325 hard disk on a MicroVAX (this drive is exactly what DEC uses on the MicroVAX for its 67 meg hard drive). Unfortunately, the drive, as jumpered from the factory doesn't work (it won't format etc.). Could someone tell me how to modify this drive so that it'll be compatible with the MicroVAX controller? Thanks, Fred Einstein
