I have got in my hands a board from the D9090, and have some technical questions. The board has a total of 4 connectors coming off of it, and is labeled: TANDON INC. WINCHESTER DOS/CONTROL ASSY NO. 300012-002 REV A Connectors: One is obviously the IEEE-488 connector, and another is a 2 pin power connector. The others I am not sure about... there is a 4x1 and a 25x2 connector on one edge of the card. The signals from the 4 pin connector appear to be connected to the 50 pin connector. Am I right in assuming that another board in necessary between this board and the hard drive? Did Commodore remove the board from the Tandon drive and use its own like they do with floppies? Is there any hope of using this board? I have heard that there were three boards in the D9090. This is obviously one of them. I assume that the power supply is another. What about the third board? Do I just need a special cable to interface this board with an ST-506 type Tandon drive, or was the drive board not ST506? There are also two jumpers on this board... Between 7C and 6C are J6 and J5, J5 is open and J6 is closed. Between 7D and 6D are J11 and J12, J11 is open and J12 is closed. Are these the D9060/D9090 select jumpers? Thanks in advance for any help, -ethan -- Ethan R.
