[parisc-linux] 9000/712 and C2490A harddisk

Hi

I've a 9000/712/80 and a harddisk labeled "C2490A" and "HP". On the HP
website I found 2 kinds of info on this harddisk: It shows in the result of
an `ioscan` in a lot of tape related documents and there are some hits in
the HP-UX patches database that it is not bootable (around 1995/1996) in
some systems.

Has anyone some more info on this drive? I'd like to use it in my 9000/712
since the drive that came with it has currently 0 rpm (it does not spin
anymore). 

I like to know:
the pin-out (including the  position of pin-1, the connector does not make
this clear)
can the 9000/712 boot from it (is it worth the effort)

I've the impression it is a 2.x GB, 7200rpm harddisk and I've been told it
is a relabeled Seagate (then which one?)


Thanks in advance,

CBee

sorry - don't have this handy. You'll have to search for it.

yes.

I'm pretty sure it's not.
IIRC, that was the last model disk drive that HP "DMD" designed/made.
