Does anybody out there still use a National Memory Systems external hard drive? It has a Fujitsu 86mb, SMD type, 8 inch drive and a model 8000A National Memory Systems controller for the PC. I just aquired such a system at a reasonable price, but I didn't get the driver software or documentation. I would like to make a useable system out of it again, but without the device driver software for it, it will be useless. I talked to the factory (NMS was bought out by company named CFN Industries) and they said it was so old they couldn't help me. They would sell me a new controller for $900 though. To identify my type of controller, it has a 60 pin connector along the back of the board, 2 28 pin connectors toward the center of the board and 2 Eproms in the center of the board. The board is marked "PCSMD" in the upper left and "INTERPHASE" just above the edge connector. Any help will greatly appreciated. Thanks Harold Trollinger Tektronix, Inc. (503) 629-1051

Interphase is still in business, making SMD and SCSI interfaces, in Dallas, or Richardson, Texas. -- --- Clarence A Dold - cdold@starfish.Convergent.COM (408) 435-5274 ...pyramid!ctnews!mitisft!professo!dold P.O.Box 6685, San Jose, CA 95150-6685
