I never saw it called an M2000. this is the package that the Microdata
Royale ended up in. If it is what was called an 8000, I did the
firmware for it, and can help a bit :-) It is a 1600.
you should get the reflex drives, you will need them for parts
SMD world,
the Reflex I and II.
Didn't they come from Western Dynex or something
like that?
Westerb Dynex drives were the inspiration for the top loading 5 and 10
mb 2314 type patter and head drives. Microdata called them Marathons,
and they were 9000 drives.
The Reflexs are 15000 drives if I recall.
is that the
microprocessor version, or is it one of the bigger
reality machines?
The M2000 \ 
Spirit,
Ugg.. I hated that machine. The Sequel was nice though. There's a
company here in town that has a sequel but the firmware board has been
yanked. I think there's a couple reflex drives and a tape drive there.
There was a Series 18 at Matthews Medical Books here in town, but I
think that's long gone.
