James,

Have you tried the "CE Handshake" to get the drive going again? My F04 appeared to be dead a while back and after 'speaking to' the drive, it's back running without a hitch!

 - Larry


'Twould seem I spoke too soon. Our D02, "Saturn," tried to come up on its exercise cycle this afternoon, and it had a hard drive failure. On the load source.

Looking back, it's got between 50,000 and 100,000 hours on it without a single part being replaced, has outlasted its internal UPS by at least 5 years, as well as a lot of DOS/Windoze boxes and two terminals.

Of course, this will affect Touchtone's product line. The current CISC release of QuestView will be our last (I'd hoped to get one more CISC release), and we may not be able to provide tapes of it for pre-V3R2 boxes. (Fortunately, it's a stable release.) Future RISC releases will probably have a somewhat higher minimum OS/400 release level than our traditional V3R7.

Saturn has been a really good box, and it's been working for Touchtone longer than I have. Requiescat.
