  • Great choice for a 90's period-accurate retro system.
  • Nice size because it is within capacity limits of certain early vintage BIOS and O/S.
  • Purchased directly from Seagate distribution for computer production.
  • Was removed by our service dept decades ago during a routine upgrade and has been in protected storage since.
  • These drives had relatively little use — we had an aggressive upgrade program so most drives were upgraded after only 12 to 24 months and have been stored undisturbed for decades.
  • After all these years, this drive booted right up to the original Windows 95.
  • Drive has been completely wiped (to delete customer data) and reformatted.
  • MS-DOS 6.22 freshly installed.
  • Plenty of room for Windows, if you choose.
  • Scandisk full surface scan shows zero errors (see screenshot).
  • Chkdsk shows zero bad sectors (see screenshot).
  • Should boot right up in any compatible system.
  • To boot as configured, be sure the drive parameters are set to: CHS = 2100/16/63 (should be auto-detected by most BIOS).
  • Clean, NEAR MINT condition.

You will receive exactly the item you see in the photos.

Shipped via USPS with full tracking from a USPS regional SCF (Sectional Center Facility) so delivery anywhere within the U.S. is only a few days away (excluding the occasional USPS misdirect).

RETURNS:
• Sold with 30 Day Warranty — If the drive fails or a serious defect not in the listing is found within 30 days of purchase, I will stand behind the product.
• Please contact me with details of any issue so we can resolve the problem or work out an appropriate solution.
• I will provide a reasonable amount of technical assistance if you have questions concerning the configuration or proper use of the item.
