I recently salvaged a 10M Tandon FH Hard Drive. I really don't know to much about this particalar modal, but I would like to use as a hard drive for my 800XL. Is this possible? I imagine I need to build or acquire some sort of interface & acquire some sort of DOS to handle hard drives. Does MYDOS? Any info is appreciated! Rob

Does MYDOS? => The ICD Multi I/O & Black Box will both do this for you. There is some other interface, but I don't recall the name. If you just want to run a hard disk, the BB is probably what you want. MyDOS & SpartaDOS (3.2d & X) will both handle it. Others might as well, but I haven't heard of them being used.

I think the MIO has a SCSI interface... so a SCSI controller would be a neccessity also. Lotsa bux the way I see it. Anyone got any of this USED for sale? (for him.... not )

I reccommend the MIO, but some do prefer the box. The Mio is a costly gadget though try to get one used.. Its avaliable from ICD.. Then youll need a controller board, and also youll need a case and power supply... Then theres the need for cords to hook everything up. All this is attainable from ICD.. And its very costly as Ive said. However, once you do all of it, you can order pro and run a great bbs.
