Hi folks,
I recently picked up a Symbolics system built around an 8" Control Data
Corp. Sabre hard drive.
Some files read when I show the FEP directory listing but many show as
"Error reading file header, wrong pkid read" which I assume is some sort of FEP
FS integrity check.
In short, the drive becomes ready and much of the data appears still
there, but I have some brand of consistent read errors that preclude the
machine from booting.
It's not a software issue as the machine was deinstalled in a working
condition.
Anyone familiar with these terrible drives? Am I totally up the creek? I
tried a couple different orientations.
Thanks,
- Ian
