Notes

The card connecting the Akron user's group hard disk to an ADAM.

Why separate

  • A hard disk of this period is a mechanism and a controller. The mechanism is ordinary; the card is what makes it an ADAM peripheral rather than a bare drive.
  • Sold apart, the card could also serve a drive the owner already had - which for a user group supplying its members is the point.

LITTLE IS RECORDED about either half. The drive is catalogued alongside this, and what the Akron group's design did differently from Orphanware's own Mini Winnie would most likely be found in a user group newsletter of the period - the sort of document this site's ADAM News Network archive holds.
