First, thanks to everyone who helped me with my earlier
questions on Otronas. BTW, Mycroft appears to be defunct.
I recently acquired an Otrona/IEEE-488 hard drive.
Unfortunately, the drive stops working after 10-15 minutes of
operation. The problem appears to be in the controller card
in the external drive box.
1. Have any of you ever encountered a similar problem?
2. Does anyone have:
a. documentation for the Otrona HD?
b. an extra HD controller card (or an entire
HD assembly) for sale?
c. an extra 128k/IEEE-488 board for sale?
d. a C-compiler for the Otrona?
e. HD diagnostic programs for CPM machines?
Thanks,
