The iSBC215 doesn't have a drive-specific interface

external board to provide the signal interface and data separator. Much of
that is actually on the iSBC215, but the data separator and signal level
buffers aren't.
I have the iSBC215, including the manual and schematics, but that won't help
if you haven't got the drive interface module.
I don't need it, I was just replying to Al's request. FWIW the iSBC supports
three different type drives. 506/412 and a couple of others that I don't recall at the
moment.
I just got a hard drive for my intel MDS-235 and I think it uses a modified iSBC 215 so
I may get some experience with it soon. If so can I get a copy of those docs?

PS If you're interested, there's an iSBC 215 for sale on E-bay right now. It
has the 1/4" tape drive controller and floppy drive controller daughter boards with
it.

Do you mean for the Intel Multibus ST-506 controller (iSBC 215 IIRC) or
what? I
have several of the cards and the catalog but no user's manual.
Does anyone have a databook
I have the user's manual. I'll see about scanning it.
