#Amdek Drive
6 messages in this thread
I just inherited an Amdek LD-1 drive, manufactured i n1987. I found a
thread here about drivers and will followup with the BBS they suggest.
However, I've got another problem. The cabling that came with it is 37 pin
connectors. I don't have such an animal on my machine. I have a SCSI
port, but it is a different configuration. Am I supposed to have a special
board? Also, I have no software. Any suggestions? Thanks. Tom
Tom,
You need an interface board for that Amdek. Since Amdek was selling
Hitachi drives, you may want to contact Hitachi about getting a board.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. Tom
Frank, I just wanted to make sure that the board I need isn't the same as
my existing SCSI? I assumed not from your answer, but thought I'd clarify
before racing off on a hunt for the board. Thanks. Tom
Tom,
That Amdek is not a SCSI drive, so your SCSI board won't work.
Frank
Thanks, that's what I thought..just wanted to be sure. In the meantime,
the folks at the university (from whom I got the drive) found the board. I
wonder if the documentation was with it…probably too much to hope for.
Thanks. Tom
