Sounds like the "standard" 20 MB HP drive as
found in Vectra PCs and
measurement equipment. I once had to replace the hard disk in a HP4972
network analyser and took one from a Vectra. The controller board for
the Vectra (standard 8-bit full-length ISA card) has an onboard MC6809,
on-board sector buffer, a BIOS etc. It's quite an intelligent card from
the programmer's point of view (I've partially disassembled the BIOS),
but lack further information. Would be nice to write a Linux driver for
that board ;-)
So, they are basically MFM drives with a weird connector on them ?
Any real product number ?
