From: dosadi::binder (Wanted: A good five-cent nickel) I have a 25-Mbyte Tandon hard disk drive that I'd like to plug into my Apple. I don't know just what it takes to do so, but I'd guess that a good start might be the schematics and ROM code from the Corvus or some similar disk subsystem. Given that info, I may be able to design a controller. Does anyone have a set of Corvus documentation that he or she is willing to copy for me? I'm willing to pay mailing costs, but I can't handle copying fees of more than a couple of dollars. If you're in the same boat as I, i.e., having access to a disk but not a controller, I'm willing to share whatever I come up with - it would be in the form of a wire-wrappable module built, most likely, on an Apple proto card. My contribution would include schematic, wire list, parts list, assembly drawing, cable documentation, and any other necessary stuff. Interested parties please reply by netmail or phone (617) 486-6363 between 8.30 and 5.00 Eastern time. - Dick Binder decvax!decwrl!rhea!dosadi!binder
