a lot of bizarre proprietary CD-ROM interfaces.
I have some old Hitachi CD-ROM
drives. They are single speed, from memory part
number CDR-1503S. About the area of a desktop PC, but not as high. Connect to
the host computer via a 37-way D connector.
Does anyone know what type of controller card is needed in the PC to use these
drives?
HITACHI. Sometimes "proprietary" is quite literal. I think that some
models of them were also sold by Amdek, and therefore possibly
interchangeable. I probably still have some (and drivers!). But I'm not
sure how long it will take me to find 'em.
