Greetings!
Went to a sale this morning and ended up with some neato pieces of
equipment. First are two Shugart 8 inch floppy drives ($1 each), a
microprocessor training kit ($30) and finally a RCA COSMAC dual 8 inch disk
drive ($5). One of the sellers told me to come back tomorrow because he's
going to dig out a bunch of other 70s and early 80s equipment.

I can find no reference to either the microprocessor trainer for the cosmic
disk drive assembly online. Any information would be pretty cool to see.
Thanks!

If you pick up the rest of the COSMAC system and if it has a CDP18S651
floppy disk controller board to go along with the floppy disk drives
you picked up it would be great if you could do a high resolution scan
of the CDP18S651 board.
I have a completely bare CDP18S651 floppy disk controller board. I
haven't found a copy of the manual and/or schematic anywhere yet. With
a high resolution scan of a complete board maybe at least I could
figure out what components I need to populate it.
