RIP HDD

I was given a 1993 500MB LaCie external SCSI hard drive along with my (1990) Mac IIcx. When the original Quantum 80MB hard drive from the IIcx failed, I pulled the Seagate 500MB drive out of the case and installed it in the IIcx.

It lasted nearly 20 years in the IIcx.

It survived nearly a decade in non-climate-controlled storage in East Texas heat & humidity.

Now, it suffers from [integer overflow] bad sectors.

Thankfully, I was able to get a complete dd image of the disk in 2019 when I got this machine working again (and acquired a Beige G3 which supported SCSI disks and OSX). There was some corruption and a few files and apps were unreadable, but the image is largely complete.

Farewell little 500MB Seagate drive. At 28 years old you far exceeded anyone's expectations.
