Our resident egg-head Geert Jan and Andy Wilkinson have been looking at getting one together. You might PM them and ask. I'm sure the image will appear here when it's done.

Hi Wayne, That's really interesting. I wonder who tried to fix it? Probably not a JVC repair centre. Are you saying the 80GB drive it came with didn't work? I'll get AndyWilks in on this thread. He may know what LSI chip is needed for the 80GB drives. Then you can tell from your board whether you ha...

Hi Julian, Sorry to hear about your missing hard drive. I'd ask the guy that gave the HDS1 to you for it back. He can use any type of 40GB drive in his PC, yet the HDS1 can only work with one specific type: http://www.cippico.com/technical/jvc-hm-hds1/hd-models.htm Wayne is correct as well (Hi Wayne...

Geert Jan, You have the brain the size of a planet. I can't believe you've got so far with the old girl. Well done! Tell you what, can you make it work with a 500GB drive? That way, when I come to sell mine on eBay, it will make more than the lousy sum I'm likely to get with just a 40GB drive in the...

I'll post my serial number shortly. It would be interesting to see a pattern emerge. Btw, what drives do yours use? Can you post that as well? Is your museum open to the public, or is it just a room full of dusty top-loaders and other artifacts that you've hoarded? Just wondering if you get geeks li...

Hi tecnodweeb, Firstly, thanks for the useful and highly informative post. Regarding the drive: I bought mine in November 2001 and yours doesn't sound too far behind. I wonder if JVC were shipping both types of drive concurrently? I suppose what we need to do is get a poll of users to find out what ...

User database pruning.
Membership Pruning I have had to prune the membership list because php robots were signing up automatically to this forum and spreading their vile marketing scams. We ended up with a huge number of fictitious members, making it very unwieldy at times. Missing Account? Now.... during my membership p...

Hi tecnodweeb and thanks for dropping by. I'm probably not alone in being ever so slightly geekishly and nerdishly excited by the prospect of a virgin drive. I'm sure there are others out there who'd love to re-image back to factory state. So, count me in for a copy. If all goes well I'd love to hav...

.merle1 Sorry to hear it's died. I had a brief look for a drive but didn't find many suppliers that were willing to publish a price. I saw one that was asking over ?100 for one. That's just crazy. I notice that ebayer gdelargy sold a couple of them very recently . You could message him to ask if he'...

Re: re re-writing the bios
Whats the availabilty like of the original drives say from Ebay etc...? that seemed the best source to get one to be able to clone onto. I can't speak for the Quantum Fireball LCT 20, but all the Maxtors I've tried have been really noisy. I doubt they'd have changed the manufacturing process for th...

Jens, thank you for your kind comments. I'm glad some of the info on the web site was useful, although not much use in solving your noise problem... I'm afraid I'm not aware of any device that will cure that particular problem, other than a completely different drive. As you know, latest drive techn...
