Affordabe High-Capacity Storage for
Commodore C=64 and C=128 Computers!
Performance:
HD Series Hard Drives are
designed to be the fastest mass-
storage peripherals available for the
C=64 and C=128. When connected on the
serial bus to a completely stock
computer, HD Series drives out perform
all other serial bus drives (including
the 1581) by a wide margin. If your
computer is equipped with JiffyDOS,
performance in 128 mode is nearly
doubled, with performance in 64 mode
(or with a C=64) being brought up to
the same level. And, when connected to
the parallel port of CMD's RAMLink, HD
Series drives become as fast as the
hard drives found on newer, more
expensive machines.
Compatibiity:
A specially-designed operating
system (DOS) gives HD Series drives
the ability to work with nearly all
commercial software. The HD Series DOS
fully supports all Commodore DOS
commands, including Block Reads and
Writes, Memory access commands, and
Fast Serial 'burst' commands. Special
operating modes are also built in to
provide complete compatibility with
GEOS and CP/M. Another feature of the
HD Series operating system is that it
is stored on the hard drive itself and
not it ROM. This means that DOS
upgrades can be installed quickly and
easily without disassembly.
Ease of Use:
The HD Series DOS provides you
with the tools to easily organize and
access the large amounts of data you
will be storing. Partitions of up to
16 Megabytes are supported and can be
set aside exclusively for GEOS or CP/M
use, if desired. Subdirectories can be
created within partitions and within
other subdirectories. The number and
size of subdirectories is limited only
by the available space on the drive.
Any directory can be the default, and
the path to a file anywhere on the
drive can be specified within a single
command. In addition, files can be
easily copied between different
partitions and subdirectories.
Additional Information:
Ok here's some info i've been
able to piece together in phone
conversations with CMD!
We all know that the drives size is
only a little longer than a 1581 and it
uses a 3 1/2 inch disk. And it's for
the C=64 and C=128, also fully
supports GEOS and CP/M! Right?
Well lets see if i can say something
here that we don't know.
The drive itself can be modified to
100 megs in the single case and up
to 4 GIGABYTE's otherwise!! Works
just like a 1581 and can be
partitioned the same way, hooks to the
serial port so you can still piggyback
other drives, use's a parallel
interface through RAMLink (more on
RAMLink later) that speeds the drive up
considerably, fully supports JiffyDOS,
so if you have JiffyDOS in your
computer you will have that speed
added to the drive. It also can be
interfaced with Amiga, IBM-compatible
and Macintosh computers incase you
plan to upgrade in the future you can
still use the hard drive..
