Did it use a special interface or was it just a regular 40gb IDE hard drive? I did see a bulletin for the machine that Ricoh had started (and no longer) makes a "special" HDD that is 80gb but only reports as 40gb. Likely just through partitioning.Originally Posted by slimslob
As I remember it is 2 drives operating in parallel. They had a special formatting that installed coding that identified whether it was drive A or drive B. Due to the parallel operation, they had to be replaced as a set. Due to the special coding they had to come from Ricoh as a set.
Hi,
the harddisk in my machine is an IBM Deskstar with 40GB and a Jumpersetting for 16 Heads.
This harddisk was installed in many Windows2000-Pentium 3 Desktop Systems,
there is nothing unusual about it.
I opened the controllerboard because I had problem with the FAX module, all Video data was garbage.
The connector to the controller board was the culprit.
Afterwards i was promptly rewarded with the machine throwing a SC672 on me, i forgot to
reconnect power to the harddisk.....

Ricoh told me in MPC6000 training that we had to replace the drives as a set from Ricoh, that turned out to not be the case. We always put in whatever we had around, as long as both drives were the same size and model.
I don't know if all Ricoh models are the same.
Hi,
maybe, the MPC6000 uses mirroring and thats the reason it needs two drives of the same size...
In my 1224C, there is only space available for one drive.

I would just push this device off a bridge into the River Thames!!!
End of Problem!!
[QUOTE=Oze;733797]From the 1224 service bookI had a customer a while back who needed to upload off the doc server to their PC. We used this option. Look on the controller side of the machine and see if there is a board in the slot that the wireless option would go in."
You CLEARLY don't realise that this model of machine was around BEFORE wireless was invented

Well blow me down...I stand corrected
The one major problem with the Ricoh wireless interface for this model is that at introduction it use WEP and not the newer more secure WPA. If Ricoh has not changed that you might have trouble getting IT departments to setup WEP access.
