I have just been given a Model One (which I haven't got into yet,)
and a Model 4, along with some manuals and drives.
One of the external drives is a BASF Model 6106, would this by
chance be an early hard drive? It is built like a full height floppy, but
there is no place to put one! Any information on it would be much appreciated.
If it could be a BASF 6186, it would be a 15mb ST-506 MFM drive with 4
Hds, 440 Cyl, and 17 SPT. RWC and WPC are both at 220. Drive is 5.25"
Full High.

The Model 4 is suffering from a bad keyboard,
(dead except for
reset button,) and is working with one borrowed from another Model 4. Does
anyone have information on it? It is not covered in the 4 technical
reference manual.
I haven't been able to get the 4 to recognize drive "1". I have
five full height floppies on hand, and all will work OK as drive "0", but
not as drive "1". I have checked the cable and it has the required missing
contacts, "12, 14, 32" for "0" and "10, 14, 32" for
"1", but still no action.
I can't find any jumpers on the Texas Peripherals drives, am I
missing something?
Thanks
