Three questions:
1. What's the experience with S-1 boards? In particular, has anyone
used an S-1 board to add a hard disk to a system with a Persyst board?
I have a 64k TIPC, a 192k Persyst board, and would like to (eventually)
add a hard disk. Also, does the S-1 provide a standard interface, so I
can buy the board, and attach someone else's hard disk?
2. I have the preliminary release of the Technical Reference (the hardware
book). This is rather incomplete, and states all over that it is only a
preliminary release. Was the 'final' release ever completed?
3. Has anyone ever looked into a TI-IBM bus converter? I think, with the
exception of the clock rates, that the same signals are available on both
busses, only the pins have been changed to protect the innocent.
