I believe I have one of those, but it came wrapped in a Hard Drive
International label. The fujitsu MB8877 controller in it I I am told, is
fast enough to run at 500khz, meaning a 3.5" drive hooked to it has a
1.44 meg capacity, not 720k. I was always going to convert it, but wound
up getting a scsi hard drive 4in1 from Tony D. instead. Absolutely no
clue where one might find those instructions today though.
