PAR Hard Drive
« on: June 12, 2012, 06:56:51 PM »
I have a DPS personal animation recorder that the hard drive has failed, the unit was used that I got from E bay. It does no show how to build a HD or what format it is, I am sure it is IDE. My question is does anybody know how to build a PAR HD. I have a CF card reader and 4 gb cards so I was thinking that if I can find the info to format and install then maybe I could just use the CF card instead of a real HD. If the CF card does not work then a HD is just as good. Does any body have a PAR that maybe I could get a copy of the HD, I am thinking that it only supports a few limited HD ? Any PAR experts out there?

Yeah I have the manual, and all the parts, the thing booted up once, thing is I didn't have a TBC IV that it needs to feed signal to it. So I shelved it till I got one. Bingo got the TBC hooked everything up and the HD never was seen again. I tried several differant HD's and The CF card. It fail the startup process when the HD is not seen, least that is my best guess, some day I would like to use it as a animation station. I know I will never get a flyer set I was tracking one on ebay and last time I looked it was $1500. Thank you for all the replys any way Amiga.org is the best by far.:pint:
