      a35ec8c5       From: peterwendt@mcamafia.de              Hi Wolfgang              There it is topping the list - in the previous configuration.       Later that year I'd altered it to 1 RAID-2 and 2 RAID-5 arrays, dropping       the spare drive. The latter two arrays are with 5 x 4.5GB drives.       > My 520 came with five hard drives in a RAID 5 configuration.

While it       was not really needed power-wise I removed it. The drives are mostly       68-pin DCHS IIRC. Not too noisy compared with the DCRS or faster DGHS.              > If it weren't such a fast machine with an MCA bus ...              Wonder if it would power up at all. I guess the CMOS battery has gone       south for long - and probably damaged the board. And there were these       dreaded SMD caps "en masse". Ooof !              --       Very friendly greetings from Peter in Germany       http://www.mcamafia.de/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
