Selling my VERY RARE Triton QD floppy disk drive.
Comes with 6 wafers and printed dox from the net.
Tested the cardridge rom at it works. It shows T-Dos v1.2.
Haven't checked the wafers for data.
info:
The Triton Quick Disk Drive is a product that allows 2.8-inch floppy disks to be read on the Commodore 64.
The product was released for sale in the mid-1980s.
The disk drive can be used with Hitachi Maxell 2.8-inch double sided floppy disks, with a capacity of 144 kilobytes non-formatted and 100 kilobytes formatted.
Each side has 20 sectors of 2.5 kB. A maximum of 20 files can be saved on each side of the floppy disks.
The data transfer rate is up to 100 kilobytes per second.
The disk drive measures 250 x 225 x 65 mm, weighing in at 3.2 kilograms.
Triton and Commodore 64
For use on the Commodore 64, the controller/interface box contains an EPROM with an additional operating system, C-64 T-DOS, that when connected to the computer through the memory expansion port can be called by typing "SYS 32768". This activated various new commands;
@Dn
@Format
@Dir
@Save
@ASave
@Write
@Load
@Run
@Aload
@Kill
@Quit
@ACopy
@CassCopy
If something goes wrong, 14 different error messages will give indications about what may have happened.
