my search-fu is weak or that is a tough machine to find much about, anyone
have any further details? is it part of the IBM Datamaster family?
I found more hits in comp.sys.ibm.sys3x which suggest to me that the IBM
5324 is simply a storage peripheral, that is a dual 8-inch floppy drive
subsystem (perhaps including the controller onboard, hence the size of the
case).
C: All fine and good, but the System 23/Datamaster already has 2x 8" drives (that
never shut off incidentally). Why would it need 2 more? I guess that's the way some
people worked. The former Canon rep who gave me my Color Canon As-100 said he used to
daisy chain vast arrays of 8" drives. Whatever works for ya, that's what I always
say.
