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. Joe At 07:23 PM 7/31/02 +0200, you wrote:

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 !
