Hi Tony,

A few years ago, when I was still in touch with the "Sirius User Group", I
heard about a replacement floppy controller PCB for the Sirius which allowed
it to handle IBM format floppies - IIRC it was a prototype which never saw
the light of day and was owned by the chap who ran the user group (I think
he had two or three).
I've no idea who produced it, or what formats it would handle (I assume
360K), but I believe it was scrapped as it was designed to ONLY read/write
IBM format discs....
TTFN - Pete.
