[Coco] Looking for "C" utils

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

>From a Seagate product manual for an earlier drive: (Lower Numbers)

It talks about flashes, not sounds. The SCSI interface manual has
corresponding error codes up to a point.

NO flashes or peeps means NO Errors!

1 flash = Microprocessor / Internal Memory Test failure.

2 flashes = Microprocessor Checksum Test failure.

3 flashes = Controller Chip Test failure.

4 flashes = Controller Program RAM failure.

5 flashes = Data buffer RAM test failure.

6 flashes = Spindle Speed Test failure.

The SCSI manual Sense Keys says 47 = SCSI interface parity error.

Time to throw in the towel?
