Yes, those could only write 20MB max though. Still pretty cool for the time.

The BackPack drives are nice for quick testing or adding a temporary drive.

I can't say either technology has been bad to me. I have found IDE and SCSI zip
drives excellent for exchanging large amount of data between vintage and modern

I never had problems with zip disks myself, but never dove into the floppy
things since the price seemed prohibitive.
The only problem I experienced with a zip disk was a too many folders deep
error but that was from some program or operating system that didn't follow
a FAT16 rule or something.

Looking for MCM68764 and I could probably use some TMS2532 as well.
I'm also always on the lookout for blank bipolar proms (chips stargin
with 82S, and compatables).
Anyone have any of these they don't need. New, used, needing erasing,
doesn't matter.
If you have any, let me know how man
I have 2 Sbus Expansion chassis, one Sun, and one Integrix (IIRC). I
have the expansion chassis and the sbus controllers, but on both cases I
do not have the cables.
By looking at it, I believe they probably both use the same cable.
Anyone out there have one or two cables to spare ?
Thanks
