Subject: Unknown 'Kenda' module?
Anyone know what this this? Found in a BBC B earlier - black module about 10cm
x 20cm and 1cm high, with a trailing ribbon cable that plugs into one of the
beeb's ROM sockets. Also has a 40 pin plug underneath which plugs straight
into the floppy disk controller socket on the BBC board.
Made by "The Kenda Group", seem to be called "The Professional" and also says
"incorporating DMFS", whatever that is.
Unfortunately it's potted, so I can't take it to bits to see what's inside - grr!
If it's disk controller upgrade it seems a little large - we did wonder
whether it was some sort of solid state floppy drive?
Anyone come across one before?
cheers
Jules
