Regardless of the physical size, (maybe 13x15") if they are FT400 or FT300
models, then I may have useful information regarding their use. These
models are FDC-only with a very easy programming interface. Back when I
used a 1 MHz 6502 for much of the work, I used one of these and was probably
the only one around with double-density capability as a result.
The interface was dirt simple, yet could keep up with any processor of the
time.

Jeff,
Also an interest but I tend to be more focused. I'm looking for DRUM
memories of small physical size. I'm interested in getting one going
and I'm limited in space and power I'm willing to commit as I want to have
it run.
If you run across anything that may be on the Northeast I'd be interested.
