Ooh you made me think of something (I actually had thought about getting a
S/36 off of ebay, but didnt wanna spend it on the shipping again.)

Question:
I have an AT&T 6544 'cluster controller' I got off of ebay this past
summer. (July I believe) I now have it, but the hard drive (an ST-225
scsi drive) was crashed beyond all belief: about 1 in 10 or > sectors are
unreadble on my desktop. The thing wont boot or do anything. I've found
one company (Telemechanics) that seems to support them, but i'm sure i
don't want to spend the few hundred++ dollars that they'd want for a new
drive and software.

I was wondering if anyone has software or helpful info on the device.

Thanks much!
