hard-sector 5 1/4 disk

This time I think I can say without making an a%% of myself that Commodore also did that from day one; most if not all their drives had CPU's to handle the IEEE interface ... m ----------------Original Message-------------------- Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 18:21:49 -0500 From: Jeff Hellige <jhellige(a)earthlink.net> Subject: Re: hard-sector 5 1/4 disk The Indus GT was one nice drive and they made it for other machines than just the Atari line. It was interesting to sit there and listen to it while watching the track readout change. I've never torn one apart to check but I'm told that they used a Z80 in the drive to control everything which would be interesting since that'd make the chip in the drive as powerful as the main CPU of the machine it was attached to.
