I bought the upgrade to bring its memory to 64K. I also have tech notes for the drive which include the whole operating system source code! I have had lots of fun with it. After looking through the tech notes, it looked possible to read a whole track in at a time and write it back (it would make quite a copy program). I was able to read the whole track (including inter-sector info), but could not get it written back properly. The 64K board plugs right into the main board (nothing but a screwdriver necessary). I ordered mine from a mail-order place called "black patch systems" which I found in Antic magazine. The tech notes I recieved when I bought the Indus used from a good friend. One more thing, Indus has been bought out or something and the company is named "Future Systems". The address/phone is: Future Systems, Inc. 9811 Owensmouth Avenue, Suite 9 Chatsworth, CA 91311 (818) 407-1647 - Dennis Beach Atari hardware hacker fwj@mentor.cc.purdue.edu
