I found a better picture of the Siemens drive with both index and WP sensors visible. Also it does seem that the Wangco and Siemens variants have slightly different PCB layouts.

That dump is from my card, but it looks to be the same as the one on minus' site although I have not done an exact comparison. Here is a picture of my card.

Here is the ROM dump. I've never actually tested this card so no guarantee. The dump says it's DTK which is different than the 530D that minus zero degrees has. EDIT: The 2nd Rom on the list is DTK.

Yes. I have the card. I can send pictures and if you give me some time I can send a ROM dump if needed.

I know the jumpers for these cards are out there, but I just scanned and uploaded the manual to the IA. Feel free to distribute.

The bitsavers one is quite a bit newer. A later revision perhaps. The Wangco manual I uploaded is 106 pages. The bitsavers one has 88 pages.

I just scanned and uploaded this manual to the IA.

I'll add Wangco to the list. Thanks! It looks like the Wangco 82 and Siemens FDD 100-5 are the same drive.

I've been looking to add a few floppy drives to the collection and I'm specifically looking for single sided Shugart interface style drives that had dual index and write protect sensors so that the flip side of the disk could also be used. The two drives that I know did this are the Siemens...

I found this small write-up in a 1979 Byte Magazine. It looks like it just gives some intelligent session capability to a dumb terminal session.

Anyone know anything about this Diskwriter by August Systems or Hands-On Terminals? I picked this up on eBay last week because I thought it might be some interesting shoebox CP/M computer, but this seems a bit different. . 8080 Processor, 8K of RAM and a single sided floppy drive with a...

I uploaded the user manual for the Amdisk III to the IA a few days back.

Thanks! I appreciate the appreciation! :-)

It is interesting that you could only get that disk to work. I did make some disks for someone a few months back and that was the only disk that they could get working as well. Maybe there are just a bunch of bad disk images out there.

This site says that there is 1MB onboard.
