I learned today that there was a patch published to make it work on systems
with 640 KB. Of course, I can't seem to find any trace of it.
Anyone save a copy or know where it might be found today?

Anyone here, owning a Xebec Owl and/or its documentation?
The Owl is a SASI-disk-drive from 1984. One could say that it's mostly a
Xebec S1410A mounted on a drive, thus eliminating the ST-506-interface.
The one I had my hands on seems to be a late version, called the Owl II
(20MB instead of 10MB).
In early 1984 I was in discussion with Jim Toreson of Xebec about selling
them Shugart Corp's SA700 drive mechanics for use in the Owl. He went his
own way and I'm pretty sure the Owl embedded the controller into the drive

Hi Peter,
Bitsavers has an example for each of 16 & 32 bit Eclipse:

Did you work in this area much yourself?

Well now I feel stupid. But I must have put in about 20 different search terms

You could certainly beat that 39 cent MCU with CH554 for 25 cents.
But getting too cheap on this one-off sort of stuff gets silly after awhile.
