Has anyone managed to find drivers for the DaynaFile?
I have a couple I'd like to experiment with. One non-functional,
unfortunately, but I pulled the rom on it to image it and
attempt a disassembly. I have another that appears to work,
or at least responds to a scsi inquiry. I plan to hook
it up to a logic analyzer to get a memory map of the board.
The logic boards on the two I have are simple, with common
parts in clip-friendly 40-pin dip packages:
scsi: DP5380
floppy: WD2793
micro: 8031
Documentation is available for all of these, so a person could
potentially write new firmware. Probably much easier than
disassembling the rom.
I remember using a DaynaFile on a NeXT cube with an old (ca.1990?)
version of Nextstep, so there are potentially Nextstep drivers
out there as well.
