Sorry for yet another request, but then I do occasionaly send out an informative article, so I guess it's alright. Ever since our compiler design course here at PSU moved from small CPM Winchester systems to the large IBM, we have had all these neat 5 and 10 MEG Winchester drives just lying around. Rather than letting them rot away, we would like to use them on our 11/34's. The drive systems are extremely typical. Shugart drives, a controller, and a S-100 host adapter. My question thus is: To put these drives on a Unibus, do we just need a host adapter, or do we need (or want, these controllers are pretty old) a whole new controller system. Also, could someone send us info (price, ease of installation, company, etc) on these controllers/adapters? Thank you, John Irwin {burdvax, allegra}!psuvax!jdi
