No, I've
not seen mention of it in the manual for the drive.
Is the operation the same as using the 1541?
Yep, you just LOAD files from it as if the Indus were a dual drive (device 8
drive 0 being the "real" drive, device 8 drive 1 being the ROM disk). Very
clever idea.
That's cool. A little bit like a choice between an Atari ST
and booting it from ROM vice other machines that boot from disk.
Yes, the Atari
version did also. They're ok if they're the
only applications you have though! Did the Commodore version come in
the black plastic carry case?
Do you mean the main case itself?
No, they shipped in black plastic cases, somewhat like the
cases some drills and such come in and are stored in. A friend of
mine used to use his case for disk storage....you could fit quite a
lot of disks inside of it!
Speaking of the main case, the smoked plastic
"door" and the track display
(which doubled as the error display on the Commodore version) is also
very slick, as well as being able to soft-write-protect a disk from the
front control panel.
Yes, the Atari version is the same way. I always liked
sitting there listening to it seek and read while watching the
display count down the tracks.
