   I don't need it, I was just replying to Al's request. FWIW the iSBC supports three different type drives. 506/412 and a couple of others that I don't recall at the moment.

   I just got a hard drive for my intel MDS-235 and I think it uses a modified iSBC 215 so I may get some experience with it soon. If so can I get a copy of those docs?

   PS If you're interested, there's an iSBC 215 for sale on E-bay right now. It has the 1/4" tape drive controller and floppy drive controller daughter boards with it.
