If anyone has an old (1.5 - 2 years) Morrow MD-11 that has troubles
with the hard disk, you might be interested in knowing that there is new
distribution software out that is more sofisticated about bad sectors on
the hard disk. My troubles were caused by personal Pearl trying to write
to a bad sector. When the service rep loaded with the new software, the
sectors were properly remapped, and the machine works like a charm!
There is also an upgrade for some PAL chips, and my rep recommended a
new fan (the old models tend to over heat).
So you might want to look into this before you run into these problems,
so that you don't loose any thing if it happens. That's right, my backup
is worthless...
