  • North Star Hard Disk HD-18 Technical Manual

    From Jack Strangio@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 8 06:51:03 2022
    Hi Guys,

    On a very, very, very slim off-chance there might be somebody here who has access to the North Star Technical manual for the HD-18 Hard Disk System.
    This was a 14-inch(!) hard drive that was used for a year or two around 1978 before that niche was taken over by the ST-506 Series 5-inch hard drives.

    The actual hard drive used was a Century Data Marksman drive. I have the Technical mamuals for that. I'm looking for the Technical Manual for the
    North Star HD-18 Controller as used in the North Star Horizon.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Jack

    Hi Jonathon,

    Thanks for that. I have emailed Herb asking if that particular User's manual contains the information that I'm seeking from the Technical manual.

    Hoping for the best.

    Thanks.
