CompuPro Disk3

CompuPro Disk3 MFM Hard drive controllers. I can't remember which one was mine from back in the day, I ran a BBS on a couple 8" DSDD Floppy disks. I picked up another Disk3 along the way. This page will hopefully document me getting an old MFM drive booting CP/M. Probably a Quantum Q540. Both controllers appear functional

194D

Note the engineering changes on the backside. See the wires?

Files

I was able to fire these, File:Compupro.zip, up in a simulator, Altair 8800 (Z80) simulator V3.8-1 build 1296, Lot's of different CompuPro operating systems architectures and versions. I was able to boot up CP/M-80 version Q. Wish I could remember where I downloaded this, I like to give credit. Drop me a note if you find or have seen it elsewhere.
