First Test Of The Quantel Paintbox's Harddrive (10 Inch Plat

Post by RetroGamerVX » Thu Aug 23, 2012 11:11 pm

Hi all,

For those who are following my restoration of a 1981 Quantel Painbox dpb 7000, today, I finally got to power the Fujitsu M2294 hard drive up on it that had not been fired for over 20 years (10 inch platters, 335mb), and yes, it's very loud!

I've put the video up on my channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1h4FP9JmVs

Please leave any relivent comments and enjoy the trip down a very noisey memory lane :o)

Steve
