Anyone have a solution to the problem of aging SCSI-1 hard drives for Lino RIP 50s? I have a box of drives which are all 20+ years old, of which only two still work and all my old sources that used to sell them to me have dried up. Before I'm forced buy new Eagle RIPs, I would like to find a fix, if possible.
They originally came formatted with Linotype's proprietary operating system and I've tried a working SCSI-1 drive I bought on eBay, but have learned I need to format the drive first. I thought my postscript version 01.08 floppy disks (set of 6) would have included a formatter, but it appears that it does not.
