I just purchased an old Gimix computer (now if only I can get it from
Orlando to Chicago before my friend goes down there for Christmas).
It has an OMTI 20C-1 MFM hard disk controller with a IMI 5018 19MB hard
disk drive in it.
I am thinking of trying to upgrade the hard drive. The Gimix System
that I worked on had a half high 20MB drive and a Syquest removable 5MB
drive.
Does anyone have an old MFM drive laying around (half high or full
height but larger than 18MB) and/or an MFM removable cartridge drive
with cartridges?
I am also going to try to rebuild a Vector Graphic Dual Store Dual 8"
drive enclosure that I picked up at VCFMW. It suffered some dampness
damage and I'm not sure the drives will come up. If you have a dual 8"
drive setup (double sided drives, and enclosure) that you need a good
home for, please let me know.
I'm in the Chicago Area.
Thanks,
Mike
