I've got the weirdest disk drive ever.
It's a standard 5.25" mounted inside a factory made metal enclosure. It
has a fixed power cord coming out the back with a power switch. Inside is
a simple power supply (transformer and a couple regulators and capacitors)
that puts out +5V and +12V. There's a power connector going into the disk
drive power socket.
Here's the weird part: there is no data cable. There is no port or
connector or anything on the enclosure for a data cable. There's not even
a cut-out for a data cable.
It's basically just a disk drive that powers up and spins if you put a
disk in it. I initially thoughtt that it must be a degausser or
something, but there's nothing inside that would indicate any such
operation.
OK, I admit it. I'm stumped.
No markings on the enclosure anywhere.
Any ideas?
Responses copied to me directly would be appreciated. Otherwise, I'll
follow any follw-up thread in the archives.
Happy Holidays!!
