Torch QaudX.
Mine use SCSI drives luckily (although I gather it's more common for them to have ST506 drives and abridge board). I've only
ever seen bridge boards on the
XXX, though.
Actually, I think QaudX machines did generally have SCSI hard drives and
a Manta board for the floppy (for the rst of the people here, Torch
boards were named after water creatures, the mainboard in a XXX is a
Stickleback, the memory expansion board for that is a Limpet, and so on).
XXXes had either the Omti board (which linked to a floppy drive and an
ST412 hard disk [1]) or the SCSI hard disk and a Manta.
[1] The original Torch hard drives were NEC units, and they are
well-known for developping stiction...
