IMI drives (was WTB/WTT S-100 Chassis (UK/Europe only))

Re: Looking for IMI drives for a Cromemco: Another solution would be to find an STDC HD controller; then you could use most ST406/512 drives, and they'd also be quite a bit faster (and it would be a lot cheaper to ship ;-). I'm running two 150MB Maxtors and two 20MB IMIs on the same system BTW. I don't believe there are any CDOS drivers for it though, so you'd have to run any CDOS or CP/M programs in Cromix. As an aside, there's also an ESDI/SCSI controller; they're pretty scarce and your card set wouldn't support one AFAIK, but there is at least one person out there putting a 1.2GB disk into his Cromemco (you know who you are); not sure if it's working yet though, looks like the drive may be bad. mike -------------Original Messages: Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 10:41:24 -0000 From: "Jim Attfield" <james at attfield.co.uk> Subject: RE: WTB/WTT S-100 Chassis (UK/Europe only) Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 04:57:19 -0400 From: M H Stein <dm561 at torfree.net> Subject: WTB/WTT S-100 Chassis (UK/Europe only) ------------Reply: I have several IMI 20MB (and 5MB) drives, but they're also on the wrong side of the Atlantic (Toronto). Also, I'm not sure at this point how many are still working reliably or how many I can spare (if any). I have scrapped a few though, so if you happen to find an ST-412/506 version (they were used in some PCs) I could probably send you the PCBs to convert it. Why not just build a nice custom case & PS? mike ------------------------------ Hi Mike, glad to see they are still around to be had. Shipping a 20Mb IMI wouldn't be as bad as shipping a Z2D lol Nice tip on the PC drives although I believe I have only ever seen Seagate, Rodime, Micropolis, IBM etc. but I'll look more carefully from now on. Please keep me in mind, though, as soon as I have a chassis of some sort organised I'll want to run up the WDI-II (was a working pull from my old CS1-H, no longer with me, along with the DPU , 16-FDC and 256KZ) and get Cromix back on the go.
