Re: On 3,5" floppy drives on CMI II & CMI II restoration log revised

2010-07-30 by dkevefnzs

Hallihallo all,

My CMI II restauration adventure log has just received some photos, sound snippets, and - finally - a section on the 3.5" floppy drives.

Sorry there's (still) no detailed photo of the 50-pin <-> 34-pin adapters, and it's a collection of information rather than a structured recipe right now. I may improve that as soon as I can.

But if you like folklore, I'd be happy if you already had a look:

Your feedback is very welcome of course!

Enjoy; Joerg

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
