Hi.
Just received one ONTEL (not Intel) 8" floppy disc drives cabinet from the
UK.
* Reasonable good external aspect.
* The drives appear to be Shugart.
* The power supply has good aspect in a first visual inspection.
* The fuse in the cabinet rear and the fuse cover are lost. I must check for
one valid cover.
The most interesting thing is the output interface. Every disc unit plugs in
a circuit in the cabinet rear. The circuit have the holes needed to put the
usual 50-pin interface. BUT the interface really installed is one similar to
parallel or DB25.
Sure that I can try to install the 50-pin interface. And I shall do more
investigations, but any help in all these aspects would be welcome.
Regards
Sergio
