Toshiba CD-1000C Cartridge Tape Drive - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Steve,

Unfortunately No.

It is much more basic in design than that and is all metal in construction. Still am none
the wiser on the device. I will try and put up a picture this weekend to see if it jogs
anyones memory.

Hi,

Does it look the same as this Fujitsu-manufactured drive which was used 
in the DC range of machines for a while?

  Has anyone come across one of these before and more
importantly (to me!) has anyone any data sheets or a manual on the tape drive.

 The drive has a Toshiba label on it saying "Cartridge Tape Drive MTH 0551 F001 Model
No. CD-1000C" and has a direct drive capstan.

 It looks like a 1/2" Cartridge Drive and it was used on the Data General Desktop
Generation E6270 drive. I can find no mention of it on the internet so far!

 Thanks, Mark
