has no docs, drives or software with it. Damm! and I just threw out a drive
chassis that went with this one! FWIW it uses CDC drives like these
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/mds-800/cdc-dr-f.jpg>. I don't know if
Shugart drives can be made to work with his controller cards or not But
Intel uses a different connecting cable and a different set of controller
cards for the Shugart drives. One the MDS-800s, the Shugart drives uses
M2MFM encoding that's not capable with any other system that I know of but
the CDC drives use MFM encoding and the "standard" CPM disk format aka IBM
3470 format.
