In the beginning of January, Allan Odgaard managed to short circuit his harddisk. His hope is that someone has an identical harddisk, from which he can borrow the control print to restore his data. "The model is a Seagate ST3660A and the drive parameters are 1057CYL-16HEADS-63SECT-545.5MB." Also see his original message.

| Seagate ST3660A needed : Comment 19 of 34 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Allan Odgaard on 17-Jan-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 14 (amorel):
I'm not sure why the need for backups are discussed, if a cyclist is run over in traffic, do you remain on the sidewalk and argue that he should have worn a helmet?
You ask why I never backup my sources, to put it in a nutshell:
· I had a backup, but formatted the harddisk to make room for Linux and the AmigaSDK.
· I was going to install a scsi-harddisk (while switching cabinet etc.) to allow easy backup (it's not trivial to backup data when you have two almost full IDE harddisks in your Amiga). And it was while doing this, that one of the harddisks was short circuited.
But even if I had my older backup then I would still be without my latest project, which (despite all the personal data) is the most important thing, as it's what I currently work on...
Regarding the other thread, about bothering people with news about Joe User in trouble then I can certainly understand that this is not the goal of Amiga news forums -- but with the danger of sounding arrogant then I'm currently involved in two projects which I'm sure (if released) will please a lot of Amiga users, so I'd say that I'm not the only one gaining from restoring my sources... :-)
As a final happy note I can add that I've received several offers of the harddisk I seek -- this and some of the quite flattering comments posted here convince me that people like Paul T. are the exception to the rule about the loyal and friendly Amiga community! |
