Hello, is there anyone out there who has used a system with a Shugart
14" disc-drive? Anyone out there have, or know where I could obtain
schematics for this drive? In addition, can anyone provide me with
any suggestions as to how I can hook up one of these beasts to a
Dynabyte CP/M system? I already have a seperate power-supply for it.
Is the interface the same as, or similar to, that for the Shugart 8"
floppies? Thanks, very much, in advance!

If you're talking about the DB8/1 or the DB8/2 S-100 box, I believe you should be able to hook it straight to the box, provided you have a controller. I have a Dynabyte DB8/1 on which I run a Fujitsu 20 megabyte 8" drive. I have a spare 10 megabyte if you want it. Also, by the way, if you indeed have a DB8/1 (or DB8/2, which version of the BIOS are you running? Give me a buzz at the number below. ______________________________________________________________________________ |Ian Justman | The Rimmer Directive: | |6612 Whitsett Drive (USPSnet) | "Never tangle with anything that's got | |North Highlands, CA 95660-3830 | more teeth than the entire Osmond Family." | |(916) 344-5360 (AT&Tnet) |_____________________________________________
