Regardless of the physical size, (maybe 13x15") if they are FT400 or FT300
models, then I may have useful information regarding their use. These
models are FDC-only with a very easy programming interface. Back when I
used a 1 MHz 6502 for much of the work, I used one of these and was probably
the only one around with double-density capability as a result.
The interface was dirt simple, yet could keep up with any processor of the
time.
