Subject: Morrow MD2
I purchased a Morrow MD2 (used) last year for my father, and just now
purchased a Kaypro II (used) for my wife. Thanks to MFDISK and UNIFORM
I can exchange disks between the two. Given the limitations imposed
by the Kaypro II drives (191K each) I'm planning to try the Micro-Cornucopia
PRO-8 ROM with a pair of Mitsubishi disks (see article in M-C Dec. '85).
Seems very straightforward.
I'd like to do the same with the MD2; at least to get DSDD. That should just
mean a new ROM if I stick to two drives; else some decoder logic changes.
The M-C folks I talked to last week had never heard of such a thing. Of course
the MD3 does just that.
Question:
Anyone done any sort of upgrade to a MD2?
Anyone have a Schematic for the MD2?
Anyone be willing to copy their MD3 ROM and determine any wiring
diferences with the MD2 (i.e. have a MD3 schematic?)?
Anyone have any help, at all, to offer? Pointers?
Thank you.
As I am just getting added to the mailing list, please direct any responses
