The MSD drives were perhaps the first 1541 clones, though I am not positive of
that.
They were not complete compatible, so copy protected software probably would
not work.
I didn't realize they required a dongle.
Hmm, how many computers.

Well, I can't tell you who made it, but it's a little tower with two 5.25"
drives mounted vertically, and requires a dongle on one of the joystick
ports to work. I haven't even cranked it up yet to compare the performance
to the C 15xx series drives. I think the model number is MSD-2. The MSD-1
was a single drive unit.
I have all the docs and disks that came with it, so when I ever do get it
cranked up, I'll post the specifics.
