Does anyone have a copy of the Rodime Disk Installer software that's
earlier than the v2.03 copy that's floating around on the internet?

I am trying to resurrect an S20+ drive which has an R0652 in it. From what
I have been able to determine from looking around on old usenet archives,
it appears that this drive has problems with newer disk drivers due to it
having a pseudo-standard implementation of SCSI. Apparently Apple patched
their own HD SC Setup utility to support this correctly on the Mac SE after
they broke it while adding support for the second source Miniscribe drive.
Unfortunately, this drive doesn't have Apple firmware on it otherwise I'd
use the Apple utility. I'm wondering if I'd have better luck with the older
Rodime installer utility (v1.xx). The newer one crashes while attempting to
probe the drive.

All the third party utilities I have used on the drive "kinda work". The
one I'm using now, Lido will let me use the drive, but writing anything to
disk is S--L--O--W.

Alternatively, if some kind individual has one of these drives with Apple
firmware and can pop out the EEPROM and dump the contents and send it to
me, that would be awesome. :)
