Will The Grand Master Of Disk Controllers step foreward?

Guys:

I suspect there is one among us who can rightfully bear this title;
if so, I need his guidance, wisdom, and council. I have some questions
regarding some obscure MFM disk interfaces made by Western DIgital.
Specifically the WD-1000-5 disk controller. These are the ones that
pre-dated the HDC's they made for the ISA bus; they were frequently
found on CP/M and MP/M machines that were equipped with fixed disk drives

(some of the TeleVideo machines come to mind).

If you are intimately familiar with this legendary interface, I would
like to hear from you. I need to figure out how to modify it for 8"
harddrives. Also, does anyone have docs for the Quantum Q-2040 8"
Winchester? I dunno what kind of power to feed it (24v sounds correct,
but I seem to recall it used 110vac also!), and so on.

Thanks.


Jeff
