Ah
well.
Well,
there were some adapter/controller boards that
permitted connecting an MFM
drive to an SASI board. (similar to the OMTI boards
for hanging MFM on
SCSI)
It MIGHT be close enough to SCSI to be possible to
modify a SCSI drive
into an SASI one.
IF you discard it, then next week, you will find an
SASI drive with no
controller board.
No I won't. Besides I'd need a steam shovel to
discard of the ones I got.
What about Xebec? They made a *similar* z80 based
controller. I had the opportunity to own several
hundred of those also, but waffled. And turns out I
picked up a Mindset hard drive (external) that uses
that same controller. Which interface was that likely?
Best guess...
