Subject: Picked up a CTD-8000

Just to add a story... but mine is pretty simple.

I picked up a Seagate CTD-8000 internal for 75$ US on Ebay.  I thought it
was audio-ready but it wasn't, showing up with firmware 28388-XXX-5.45. 
After seeing the blinking LEDs and all, I realized I had to flash the
firmware.  Went to "http://www.xs4all.nl/~heemsker/fup/" and downloaded
the firmware utility (1st one on top, even though 5.45 didn't show up in
his firmware identifications).  Crossed my fingers and ran it.  5
minutes later I was listening to my DAT through DAT2WAV.

I'm waiting on another CTD-8000 so I can use DAT2DAT.


Regards,

Phil
