Hi,
Does anyone know which 2.5" HDD's works for the FD-8. It was delivered with a 2.1 GB disk installed. I would like to install a larger disk.

Don't know for sure about that model, but I own two D160's and have replaced the drives in them a couple times. Fostex machines seem to favor Maxtor drives for some reason. The size will have to do with their bios software. I tripled the size of the ones that came in the D160 and have had no problems except they took forever to format.

Thanks. I will try a Maxtor disk. Seems the FD8 can take up to 30GB depending on which firm-ware is installed. Don't have a zip-drive though. I guess I have to chance, and see how much the operating system will format.
