Subject: Looking for: Dauphin DTR-1 Floppy
A number of DTR-1s have been showing up on eBay
recently (cheap) so I
decided to snag one. (I really wanted one when they were new but my
salary as a 15 year old prevented such a thing from happening...)
As an additional aside, it's one of few devices that used the HP
Kittyhawk drive (a 1.3" 40mb drive). Quite a marvel of engineering in
1993...
Anyway, the specimen I obtained works fine (need to rebuild the battery)
but lacks the external floppy drive. So my only real option for getting
software on the machine is over the serial port, which is a a bit
annoying (and also precludes installing a new OS on it..)
Anyone have any spares?
Thanks,
Josh
No floppy drive here (I have a couple units with bad keyboards), but there
is a site that shows the pinout for the port.
