Thanks alot for your answers !
So the Apollo ,the Xerox Star and the S-100 Compupro are able to read these
drives...
Hmm, yes Joe, I intended to get such a machine for the drives, but I think
that it will be quite impossible.
And the Micropolis 1222 drive seems to be a really rare thing as nobody
could give me a hint.

The drives will probably way for the day, they'll be connected to such a
machine which could take a long time...

Anyway, thank you !

Pierre
