IBM 6360 - Filesystem(ish) info?

[Anders Nelson]

Hi friends,

Now that I have my glorious disk toaster (2D model I think, says "2D" on
the drive levers), I want to build a controller for it. I found pinouts and
some description of the media organization here:

http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/ibm/6580_Displaywriter/S241-6248-3_Displaywriter_6360_6580_Product_Support_Manual_Feb1983.pdf

I'd like to actually store data to these disks in the same manner the
original systems did, and I'm proficient in hardware/firmware. Has anyone
made a controller for this already? How about emulating the filesystem?

Any help is appreciated, and I'd open-source whatever I make (PCBs,
firmware, etc.).

Thanks!
