Harddisks with SA1000 interface

Pierre,

   The S-100 Compupro computers supported the SA1000 interface. I have a friend of mine that has one in his system. FWIW I have an Intel iSBC216(?) Multibus card that also supports it but I don't have any software that supports that card and I don't know enough details about the card to write the necessary drivers. I recently got a hard drive for the Intel MDS 225. It has an 8' hard drive in it but I haven't opened it up to see what kind. I think it may use the iSBC 216 controller but I haven't checked.

  FWIW I have two Quantum 2040s that I'm saving for that specail project.

  BUT my guess is that in order to read those drives you're going to have to mount them on the system that they were used on. I doubt any other system will read them.
