Hi friends, Now that I have my glorious disk toaster (2D model I think, says "2D" on the drive levers), I want to build a controller for it. I found pinouts and some description of the media organization here:
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/ibm/6580_Displaywriter/S241-6248-3_Displaywriter_6360_6580_Product_Support_Manual_Feb1983.pdf I'd like to actually store data to these disks in the same manner the original systems did, and I'm proficient in hardware/firmware. Has anyone made a controller for this already? How about emulating the filesystem? Any help is appreciated, and I'd open-source whatever I make (PCBs, firmware, etc.). Thanks! -- Anders Nelson +1 (517) 775-6129 www.erogear.com
