Where did the original hard disk that came with the machine go?
Maybe you can get a small UW SCSI hard disk cheap from eBay or something
like that and use it for the root partition only. A few hundred MB's
would suffice.
Cheers,

I bought the K580 without it I have approached the guy I bought it from to
see if I
can purchase the drive but he has not followed it up yet.
I have looked on ebay but HVD UW SCSI disks are rare most are SCSI-3 LVD/SE
disks
and HVD is not compatible with LVD except by a translator which costs about
$1.5K AUD which
was more than I paid for the K580.
I know I should be able to boot from the tape (maybe I am a masochist) I
think this is my best shot
until I can find a HVD disk, if I can work out to tell the system how.
Thanks,
Steve Grady

I didn't believe you until I found:
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~jwk200/images/paralan -SRP pricelist 2002.pdf
You might try to order HDs here:
http://www.weirdstuff.com/
They've got "Compaq" C2490A and "HP" C2490-60062 (both 2.1GB) for $40.
You want "C2490WD" model - just like Seagate drives have "WD" for HVD.
Or the ST32550WD for $22 seems like a winner:

All good advice Grant "except" about buying a C2490A drive....DON'T. I
replace them constantly. Forgive my language....they are #@$%. They
are unreliable at best and loud. Heck I have (5) C2490A's sitting in
my garage in an old HP 6000 Fast/Wide enclosure. I'll probably never
use them. You could put 4 of them on the internal cable of your K580
and have the 5th as spare. I'd let you have all of them for $40 plus
shipping. Just keep good back-ups if you use them.....;)

no offense taken. I've seen more than my fair share of ugly problems
with that drive as well. The HP division that produced those was shut
down around the time those drives reached "end of product life".
I only suggested them because they were supported in the Kclass.

The really only "good" thing about them is you can usually tell when
they are about to go bad by the strange sounds they make....;)

As I have been talking a customer (new CIO's first alligator
wrestle) through 'revivng'a K-220 with a dead boot drive
[error: WARN A008 == no more boot drive], and no 'ignite'
tape, from 300 miles away, hearing it was not really possible
<grin>
