Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The X-10 Fastcache Floppy Drive was a floppy disk disk drive that read 3.5" floppies at ten times the speed of a standard floppy drive. It could read an entire floppy disk in about five seconds. The X-10 drive ran at 4x spindle speed and could write or read to both sides of the floppy simultaneously. Whenever the user inserted a disk, the drive would immediately read the entire floppy into its own custom 80188 CPU based proprietary controller card RAM. The drive used motorized ejection so it could sequence and cache writes. The drive was optimized so it could step fast enough to avoid missing tracks improving over the normal slow seek times on a standard floppy drive. The X10 Fastcache Floppy was offered for sale by Corporate Systems Center (CSC).
