[net.micro] Wanted, WD279X Floppy Disk controller info wanted

tim@nmtvax.UUCP (02/29/84)

   Recently I have been trying to find any specs and or programming
information on the Western Digital Series of Floppy Disk controllers
with no success.  Does anyone know where I could get the information
on the chips.  I'm interested in using one of them in a project and
I'd like to know as soon as possible.  Thanks for your trouble.

I can't understand why data sheets on Western Digital products are hard to
get.  I called them up in California and asked for SASI hard disk controller
information, and they very nicely sent me their new component catalogs for
1984--one for hard and floppy disk controllers and support circuitry,
and one on their data comm chips.

Give them a call.  In general, I have found that calling the manufacturer
directly (generally, their marketing dept) gets results fast.
