Ok, so I finally got a keyboard for my 5160. I booted it up and it started DOS 3.0 and I was putting around looking to see what was on the drive and I got seek error and had to hard boot the system, this happened 2 or 3 more times.
Now when the system comes up the controller does not seem to detect the hard drive at all, but it sounds like the drive is accessing the data, and the light on the front flashes as if the drive is reading.
So, whats my next step here? Is this recoverable?
Are there any MFM drive diagnostic utilities that I can download and use?
Or is time to scrap the MFM drive and get a 8bit IDE card for the machine?
