FDC 2 Dual Floppy System
The Floppy Disk Drive is recommended for high-speed, mass data storage. Each disk stores up to 243K bytes of data, with average access time of 330 milliseconds.
The IMSAI Floppy Disk Drive is available in a desk-top cabinet or in a rack-mount package. The drive is built on a rugged, compact casting, and uses positive pressurization and self-contained air filters to assure continued reliability. The read/write heads retract automatically to reduce wear.
The front panel of the drive contains a number of indicators, including READY and SELECTED. For the selected drive these indicate:
- The head is at track zero.
- Write operation is in progress.
- Head is loaded on the disk.
- Disk is physically write-enabled.
A phase-lock-loop data separator is provided in each cabinet for increased reliability. The IMSAI 8080 system permits you to connect up to four disk drives through a single interface, giving you a total mass storage capacity of more than one million bytes.
