Ah, cool thanks!
I'm interested in storing arbitrary files in the manner close to the
original as possible. Sounds like the extent list and allocation map would
be useful for this; not so much the document content format.

Hi again,
Is there a description of the DW filesystem somewhere I can look at?

Chuck - thanks for the notes. I have no idea what it actually came from but
I imagine it did come with a Display writer system. No problem with the
format in which the data is stored, I can always present a more reasonable
storage interface to the user via FTP or

Well just because you don't have enough to do please plan on an ISA version as
well ;) I think it
Ok, are there command/response listings for these controllers, or one for
this exact unit?

Hi Ali,
I'm planning on a USB controller, but I've seen ISA projects that are also
microcontroller based so I think it wouldn't be awfully difficult to
replace the USB data pipe with an ISA one.
Zooming out, I have a list of USB controllers to build:
- Kennedy 9800 tape drive
- IBM 6360 8"
