         Yes, it is a #6360 from a display writer. It has a 25 pin male
connector and a 37 pin female plus power. I have had one here for several
years trying to figure out something useful for it. The only thing else I
can tell you is that it uses soft sector disks.
         If anyone can come up with a circuit diagram for it, it would be
much appreciated.
