Reviving a 1970’s Hard Drive for the Mini Centurion!

Usagi Electric

VCF Southwest is barreling down on us real fast, and none of my junk works, haha. Time to hunker down and start getting stuff over the finish line. The MiniCenturion is specifically meant for shows and right now, it doesn’t have a hard drive. So, in this episode, we dive in deep to try to bring the old 14” Hawk drive that’s bolted to it back into the land of the living.

If you want to know more about the Centurion, the wiki is full of just about everything we know:
