I am posting this call for help for a friend who has lost his netnews feed.
He has upgraded his Mac with MacPlus ROMs and has a problem with booting
his Tecmar hard disk now:

> ....  My Tecmar
> hard disk died, so I bought a Micah Drive and got my mac upgraded to the
> new ROMS.  Then I thought what-the-xxx, I'll try to get the Tecmar repaired.
> I did, and now have an incompatibility:  the Tecmar boot disk is incompatible
> with the new ROMS.  I remember seeing stuff on the network awhile ago 
> (when we had net.micro.mac) about how to hack your boot disk to let it work
> with a MacPlus or Mac with new ROMS.  
> ...
> I would happily send 
> whatever bucks someone wanted to whoever would mail me a Tecmar boot disk
> that works with HFS.  As a second choice, I am willing to tackle the current
> disk with Apple's Resource Editor to try to accomplish the task if someone
> can forward directions.  I am not adept at that, though.
