I have one like that (somewhere), it was sold as a third party add-on for
a TRS-80 Mod 1, and the case painted to match. Full-height Cumana drive,
I think.
Here's the weird part: there is no data
cable. There is no port or
connector or anything on the enclosure for a data cable. There's not even
a cut-out for a data cable.
I have seen a number of small drive inclosures that do have a "port" for a
ribbon cable, but it's very difficult to see at first blush. In these cases,
there is a section of the metal around the back that is ever so slightly
indented or sometimes it's just polished on the inside so that it's not so
sharp for a section roughly as wide as the ribbon. So the ribbon cable hangs
out the back and when you put the cover on the case it also acts as a stress
relief. Is it possible if you take the cover off that this is the issue?
