Ah, DMA Systems ... I remember them well as I used to make some of their
prototype PC Boards for the removeable HDs while they were in
development. I *think* they ran out of venture capital somewhere along
the line and were sold to IIRC Ricoh. I found one of their drives
packaged in a chassis produced by ... can't remember the name but I
think it was a local company ... without any cartridges. One of the
engineers who used to work at DMA Systems still had a cartridge for it
that I have now.

Hey,
Some lucky person, who's email address I lost in a disk crash, bought a
funky ST-506 dual
hard drive, with 5 meg fixed and 5 meg in a removable cartridge
(emulates 2 ST-506 drives).
Alas the drive in question had the older-style power connector, rather
than the late-model 4 pin
Molex we know today.
If you bought this drive, please send me an email off-list with your
address, and I'll send you
an old copy of the manual for the drive with the power connector data,
etc. I just found it while
digging in the workshop!
