I've seen pictures. I _have_ a T-disk but no
controller and no PSU. I
do not recall where I got it, but I'm sure it was 10+ years ago and I'm
sure it was free. My Amiga disk evolution was WEDGE/ST225 -> StarDrive/
Maxtor LXT213S* -> A3000/DEC RZ26.
The PSU is odd in that a single one had leads going to both
the sidecar/controller and to the drive itself. I went from the
T-disk to a GVP HD8+ on an A500 and then to my A3000 after a number
of PC's.
The T-disk has a DC37 connector for SCSI, and a
SCSI<->ST506 bridge inside,
right?
I've never disassembled either the sidecar or the drive
enclosure so I'm not sure what the actual interface is. I started to
take the drive enclosure apart once but it was doing it's best to
stay together and not reveal what was inside!
I have the ads trumpeting it from day one. Shame it
took a very long
time to hit the market. They could have been at the tippy-top of a
teenie-tiny market. :-)
If you ever get any of the ads scanned, I'd be interested in
seeing them.
