I just got an old 7300 with a bad 20 meg disk. I opened as described in the
other response and replaced it with a mitsubitshi 535 mfm 42 meg disk with
no problem at all. I used the diag disk to format the disk 977 cyl and 5
heads. Everything worked fine. I got the disk drive new from Warehouse 54
(800) 955-0054 for $259 plus shipping of $14. It came in about three days.
I didn't pay anything for the 7300, so I think I have a really cheap unix
computer. With operating system version 3.5 and the developement system
and utilities I have 78% of the disk remaining.
I made no other changes to the computer. The battery is dead, but I can
reset the date when I boot up. I will get around to changing it some day.
