Does anyone have documentation or software for this unit? It used a Vista
A800 8" disk controller and an Amlyn Minipac 5-diskette changer. Just bought
one on eBay and am trying to scrape together the information and/or software
to get it running.
I spotted an archived thread between Mike Mahon and Mr.Brad/Lost Gonzo and am
wondering if either of you fine gentlemen have docs or software? Heck, at
this point I'd settle for theory of operation.
Not clear at all how the drive maps tracks and sectors on the floppies to make
it appear as a contiguous logical disk.
