We know which program, all right. But for an IBM 760 hard drive...come on.
There is another problem, 760 doesn't work with drives bigger than 20-30 G, even if you would reflash a newer BIOS (that would be an OLD one, anyway). Buy a cheap 20G HD and just replace the locked one.

cheers

Good idea!
These old machines are quite stable, they consume less power and they don't warm to much. That makes them good candidates to be a cheap router.
I used a Siemens M510 PII 230, still have it. It took me a night to compile a Gentoo kernel on it, he he.
