Hoping that somebody on the list might be able to help...
I have recently purchased some BBC disks along with 3 ICL brand disk drives
on eBay.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160048450516&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:UK:11
The one problem that I have now is that the connector into the drive is a 37
pin affair and not the standard (?) bbc type that slips onto the disk
drive's motherboard. Is there any way to buy/build an adaptor/cable which
will make these drives usable? Or are ICL drives totally different
internally? It would be a shame for them to be useless, as they are in great
condition.
Thanks in advance
Michael...
