Is the NEC disk unit similar to the TPDD as far as command set goes? I guess
another way of asking that is whether or not TS-DOS will talk to it. I know the
NEC has a higher capacity per disk but I wasn't sure if there were more
differences.

Can't tell you how many hours and dollars I've spent researching, buying,
restoring and collecting vintage computer to get them to look and work as
designed. Once I do, I kinda put them to use for a month and move on. LOL.
I moved away from vintage computing has a hobby to music and restoring 70s era
motorcycles. But I still have some vintage stuff and must resist urge to
collect and find urge to purge.

Hi Chris, yes I remember when you did that! Yes I'll definitely let you know
if the drive works. I do also have another drive in my possession which
probably works, but I haven't turned it on in years. I got away from using
magnetic media for Model T's years ago personally...

I think I opened one up and took photos of one and posted them in my personal
space on Club100 if someone wants a closer look at components.

reverse engineering that device would be useful. I think it would
even be possible to figure out how to patch the Model T to use it.
