Does anyone know what causes a drive toy give an error 85 (drive
can't keep up)?
I have just finished telling the list that I got my SUN REM drive
working again, and that I thought the cause was overheating
(Installed a fan). However I still get constant error 85 messages.
If I reinstall 7/7 everything seems fine, for a short while, then
error 85 starts happening again.
The SUN REM drive uses a Kalok KL320 (20mb) MFM drive. I guess these
are getting very old now. Maybe I need to look for another 20mb MFM
drive to replace the Kalok with. Will any MFM 20mb drive work? For
example Kyocera KC020, Miniscribe m8425 or Western General WD362.
Or even better, does an adaptor exist for MFM to IDE? I couldn't find
one by doing an internet search.
However, for the life of the machine, I still believe the IDEfile is
the best option for the future. I should start thinking seriously
about this option, otherwise 7/7 will be lost to my machine for ever.
Thanks
