3726.0. "More Info On ACB4070" by ARRODS::GOLDSTEINS (Steve G...DTN 847-5415 ) Thu Apr 26 1990 18:54

    
    I asked for some help on the Adaptec ACB4070 before..
    I NOW need more help..
    
    I just connected it to a StarBoard with 2-Megs..
    
    Spun the RD53 up the ACB's LED was on until the drive was at speed ..
    
    Then I tried to run the Adaptec program supplied with the StarBoard...
    
    This errored with  $ffffff8c I think...
    
    The LED did come on when the program is started.. then goes out..and
    the drive I think does seem to move the heads ..
    
    	I even tried putting the board into diaggmode and all this seem to
    do was judder the head ..Was this formatting the drive...??
    
    I know the RD53 is ST506 MFM ..but looking at the Microbotic info that
    came with the StarBoard it seem the ACB4070 is ST412 RLL is that right
    that there is no difference between ST412 and ST506 ???
    
    
    Anybody in London with an ACB4070 ??? able to help...
    
    		Thanks
