From: Allan D. Plehn <PLEHN@mit-mc> Two friends of mine have purchased the disk controller board offered by Micro Design Associates, Columbia, Mo. Neither has been able to make it work. Efforts to contact the company have been futile; their telephone has been disconnected. The disk controller was advertised in a full page ad on page 19 of the December 1983 issue of Microsystems Magazine. It is a IEEE-696 (S-100) board and is supposed to run 5 1/4 and 8 inch drives simultaneously. The software provided is said to allow writing sixteen specified soft sectored formats "and most others". I'd appreciate hearing from others who may have ordered this board. Did yours work or not? Have you discovered any fixes? Etc. etc. PLEHN%MIT-MC
