I recently became the owner of a Prolink DW-35 which I need some information on.
It consists of two units, each with two 50 pin connectors on the back side.
Unit one contains an 8" Micropolis hard drive, Model 1223-1 . What sort of
capacity drive is this, and what type of controller is needed for this drive?
Unit two contains an Archive cartridge tape drive, model 3020I, which uses
DC 300 XL cartrige tapes. What sort of controller is needed for this drive?
I'd like to interface these units with either an IBM AT or XT.
The Micropolis drive has a 40 wire flat cable attached to it, and might plug
right into the correct controller for an IBM system.
It seems that there might have been another unit which the other two plug into,
but I don;t know. This obviously was a tape/backup system used
with another computer,.
Any information on this equipment would be greatly appreciated.
