Very interesting it was used on the Z88 as well. I seem to recall that the drive itself was a third part unit that several manufacturers used to add disk drive capability to their products. I don't recall where I heard that off the top of my head though.

The instructions are here: http://www.rakewell.com/xob/xob.shtml I think in the instructions to build a cable is says front of connector, I think that means - looking in to the cable from the front. Anyway, has anyone done this? Looks like the little Tandy Portable lived a very exciting life, hooking up with Tandys, Z88's and even knitting machines! <http://www.rakewell.com/xob/xob.shtml> <http://www.rakewell.com/xob/xob.shtml> Rakewell's Z88 Archive Page 1. Introduction. Disc-88 is a portable, battery-powered disc drive for the Z88 computer.
