The Microdrives are back. More attempts at getting the 4 GB drives working through the PCD-60B in the Apple LC 475.

In the first round I discovered that the particular Hitachi drives I had borrowed contained a small existing partition, so I repartitioned them externally before trying again. This is the next round of testing. I am still not declaring victory.

The previous video also came out strangely blocky after YouTube processed it. I suspect something in their encoding pipeline had a bad day because I’ve seen it happen before.

Hopefully this one survives the trip through their servers looking slightly healthier than the Microdrives themselves.
