Hello everybody !
A Micropolis 8" HDD (1222-i), I got 1 year ago and anaother Quantum 8" drive
(Q2020) are equipped with a SA1000 Interface. I'd like to test (and save)
them but I don't know wich systems support that kind of interface.
Does anybody know any systems, which support these drives ?
I found manuals for the Quantum drive but I found nothing for the Micropolis
drive on google. What is the configuration for the power connector ?
Thanks alot for any help !

Sure, the Xerox Star can use the Quantum drive....

Pierre,
The S-100 Compupro computers supported the SA1000 interface. I have a friend of mine
that has one in his system. FWIW I have an Intel iSBC216(?) Multibus card that also
supports it but I don't have any software that supports that card and I don't know
enough details about the card to write the necessary drivers. I recently got a hard drive
for the Intel MDS 225. It has an 8' hard drive in it but I haven't opened it up to
see what kind. I think it may use the iSBC 216 controller but I haven't checked.
FWIW I have two Quantum 2040s that I'm saving for that specail project.
BUT my guess is that in order to read those drives you're going to have to mount
them on the system that they were used on. I doubt any other system will read them.

Thanks alot for your answers !
So the Apollo ,the Xerox Star and the S-100 Compupro are able to read these
drives...
Hmm, yes Joe, I intended to get such a machine for the drives, but I think
that it will be quite impossible.
And the Micropolis 1222 drive seems to be a really rare thing as nobody
could give me a hint.
The drives will probably way for the day, they'll be connected to such a
machine which could take a long time...
Anyway, thank you !

I have some Apollo DN-300's and DN-330's that use these drives, and a
pile of extra drives
for them as well.
