CORCOMP FINALLY DELIVERS THE NEW CONTROLLER After months of announcements, promises, and delays, CORCOMP has made its first shipments of its double-density disk controller card for the Peripheral Expansion Box. As promised, the new card does deliver 368K on double-sided drives and 184K on single-sided drives. It will also read all standard (92K) TI disks. You no longer have to use the Disk Manager Module to format disks with the new controller. The system tracks can be directly written by the CORCOMP controller or they can be written by Disk Manager at the users option. Several TRILUG and TITAN (local users groups) members are currently using this new controller. All report they are very happy with the performance. The only bug reported is that this controller will NOT work with the FOUNDATION 128K card. CORCOMP states they are working on correcting this bug. Cost is between $170 and $200.
