I have several Terak computers in need of serious work.
If anyone has any technical information on the Terak floppy controller, or
on the shugart 800 floppy drives in the Terak, i'd like to have a copy.
I've got the Terak floppy controller manuals. From my web page

Hmm, that's a lot of copying.
The Shugart 80x manual was online at
<http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~itda/frames.html>
although I can't seem to reach it right now.
