We are so close – we have an OS on a removable platter and it absolutely should be bootable, but it doesn’t. The heads of the Hawk drive have actually been knocked out of alignment due to some rubber bump stops deteriorating over the last 40 years. Hop on along as we go through repairing and aligning our Hawk drive to get it back to perfect working condition!
