Thanks, I wasn't aware that Datapoint made removeable HD systems.
Unfortunately, these are the drives only and I don't have any of the
cartridges ... at least as far as I know :).
In cleaning out the garage, I ran across three
brand new what appear to
be 8" removeable cartridge units with no manufacturers ID that I
recognize. These three units are still sealed in their original plastic
wrapping except for the one I opened to try and find out what it is.
There are two dates, 11/26/84 on a test report taped to the unit, and
10/31/89 loose in the package; both refer to the same serial number. The
model is DP100 and it requires 24VDC @ 3.8A, 5VDC @ 2.5A max, and -12VDC
@ .5A. The only name I recognize is on the Pass/Fail Report and it has a
PASS.AS.DATAPOINT on it. Anyone have any clues as to what this might be?
Ah, they are probably date carthridges for a Datapoint removeable
carthridge hard drive system. I have a couple of the drives for them (big
suckers).
