Anyone want a 4U rackmount fibrechannel drive box?
It’s set up for 520 byte sectors, for SGI, etc. Very solidly built, and if you
lift it you’ll conclude it’s made from a neutron star.
No idea on brand- seems generic. This is FC over copper (db9 style). Works.
I’ll bring it for the free swap i

The Amiga's native disk format assumes whole-track reads and writes anyway
Hi list readers,
I have a VT180 and two dual 5.25” floppy drive units.
I am not planning on connecting both drive boxes, just one.
From documentation, I understand that you need one BC26K
cable to connect the VT180 to the (first) floppy drive unit.
The cable is shielded and has at both ends a 37-
An uninteresting answer but is this proprietary data or something another
collector may have and could provide?

One more concern:
Be very careful centering it!
If the cookie is off-center, relative to the hub, then tracks won't be in
the right positions. 3.5" disks are 135 tracks per inch, so an
imperfection of 1/5 mm is more than an entire track space!
Actually, that could be VERY useful!

Yes, they were glued. Sometimes you can look carefully at the hub and
the cookie and match up remaining glue deposits. In the case of a
simple PC-type read, the position of the index doesn't really matter for
reading--as long as the sector head
As the proud owner (and builder) of said badge, I recorded my build, in
case anyone cares. Only 1 mistake :-)
It's a long build, done late at night (so liesurely pace), and I
deviated a bit from the build instructions, so take with a pinch of salt.

I have a Model 5150 IBM PC that I purchased in 1983. It has all the original

monitor, keyboard, and printer are all in the original boxes. I also have a

I'm packing today. Any last requests?
