Ok, anyone know where I can get a PCI floppy controller that will work on a
modern PC (Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading)? The Asus P4T533 only supports a
single floppy drive (it's sister board, the P4T533-C, supported two).

Yes, that is for the cable provided with an Overland Data TX-8. What's
the "blue" adapter? I've never heard of any Overland Data Pertec
controllers besides the TX-8 and the TXi-16 before. Did the same company
really use the same connector for the same purpose but a different pinout?

This might be Readex Microprint technology. I've never seen an example
of Readex output, although the company is a few miles from me and used
to be a microfiche customer. I do know they got significant storage
reduction compared to paper.

I remember these! I made a printout too.
I also remember taking typing classes in high school (1977) and the
teacher had training books that would create a text picture if you
followed the directions correctly. I wish I had them as I'd like to do
some ASCII art.
Pete,
I saw your posting on Classic Computers.
Do you still have your HP 9040 and/or 9050? Would you be interested in
selling or trading?
Thank you for your consideration.

A simpler way to beat the only one floppy problem. Find a PCI floppy/IDE card
and disable the onboard controller. Simple fix.
I used that fix at work to solve a problem mother board that lost all floppy
control due to lightining/power transient. Since everything else worked and
I needed to get to other problem systems that was a good fix.

There were two varieties of System 23/Datamaster: (i) the all-in-one
model - the frequently seen 5322; and (ii) the seldom seen tower model,
the 5324. The 5324 came in three or four pieces: a CPU unit, with our
without floppy drive, a monitor, a keyboard and external floppy drive
unit (if the CPU unit lacked a floppy drive). Both units could also be
coupled with a 5347 hard drive, which came in either 23 or 37 MB sizes
housed in a heavy (110 lb.) cabinet.
I have never owned a complete 5324, but I once had a monitor unit from
the 5324 from which I removed the display module to replace a burned out
one in my 5322, which was basically the same except for the connector.
I displayed my 5322 at VCF 5 and 6.

Although I don't have a 5324, I have full documentation on it, the
necessary disks to get it to work, etc. The yellow user binders that Al
Kossow sent you the pictures of were essentially the same for the 5322
and 5324 except that Volume 1 varied slightly depending on which unit
you owned. I have both versions.
