What is " msc "?
We (Stefan and Matthias) are both students to the RWTH
Aachen. Our largest hobby are however the " old " Atari of 8 bit
processors.
Msc the hard disk INTERFACE
After we became acquainted with ourselves in the summer 1994,
we were soon on the search for a common project. Inspired by the
INTERFACE of Roland Buehler we began PC bus with the development of an
IDE INTERFACE for the computers of the XL/XE series. It took almost
one year, until we had a hardware solution, which co-operated well
with different computers and fixed disks. Almost the entire last year
were then busy we to develop one also for the " normal user "
manageable software.
Here can throw times a view of
it to it (57 kB jpg).
What knows the INTERFACE?
- adequate parallel bus device for XL/XE computers
- enabled up to 240 partitions per fixed disk
- emulates the floppy stations D1: to D9:
- boatable of each partition (with standard XL-OS)
- emulated " write protection labels "
- supports the link of up to two fixed disks (Master/Slave)
- Data transmission rates of more than 30 KB/s with SPARTA DOS
3,2 gx (reading operation)
- Data transmission rates of more than 10 KB/s with SPARTA DOS
3,2 gx (write operation)
- over provided software access to ATAPI CDROM possible
