Plus of course doing it that way around would explain
Cumana branching out
into the QL world; far as I know they never really strayed beyond BBC-related
stuff (drives, touch pad etc.) otherwise, so it seems a little strange them
selling QL hardware.
On my right is a Cumana hard disk unit. It contains a Shugart ST612 drive
(maybe not original!), a WD1001 card, a PSU and a little interface board.
What makes it unusual is that it's not for the Beeb, or for any UK home
computer, it's for the TRS-80 Model 3 or Model 4 (and yes, it's totally
compatible with the Radio Shack one, not suprisingly).
