I'm the lucky recipient of *three* old Altair/Pertec hard disk subsystems.. It looks like 5 MB removable/5 MB fixed. I have the calibration disk and a full manual for the drives. The MITS controllers were included and I am totally mystified by them even though I have the manual and am of a technical bent. Would anyone out there knowing something about this thing send me e-mail? Thanks in Advance Mark For the curious - the drives are Pertec D34xx-series, top-loading drives, using 14-inch platters. They spin at 2,400 RPM and, when spinning, sound like a DP-center of 10-15 years ago. -------
