Title: I'll bet this is rare!
Post by: Triton199 on February 13, 2007, 10:23:53 PM

that mysterious scsi floppy drive that i mentioned in my introduction thread is more than it appeared to be!. i opened it up and looked up some things and it turns out that it is a Konica KT-510. the front of it says 10sv and from what i found online it is a 10mb 5.25" floppy drive from 1987! crazy stuff. here are the links i found with info

link 2, info is towards the bottom (http://www.retroarchive.org/cpm/cdrom/CPM/ZCPRNEWS/Z-NEWS.802)
wonder what its worth, i have a bunch of the special floppies for it and copies of the software to run it too!

Surely is rare.

 But nowadays, when you can grab a DVD-burner from less than US$60,00, I think this hardware prety useless....

all to true but it is still kinda cool. looked through my disks and i have 3 of the sv10 disks aparently 480 tracks per inch was impressive back in 87 considering 1.2mb floppies had like 40 tracks.
