The Disk Module consists of a double-wide shroud and a Disk/Diskette Adapter
Card. The Disk/Diskette Adapter Card contains 0.5MB of DASD Cache Memory
(should take two 1MB Spock compatible 30 pin SIMMs), and supports up to two
1.6" high 3.5" drives and a 1.44MB Diskette Drive installed inside the shroud.
The DASD Module has a C60 SCSI port on the bottom and a triple-row DB26 (floppy
port for setup aid?).
SCSI BIOS Upgrade Ready
The upgrade SCSI BIOS chips for the SCSI and SCSI w/cache (92F2244/92F2245)
work in this board, and probably all others. If you look at the SCSI w/cache,
single oscillator, the parts are the same.
Note: PS/2 adapters should not be installed in the
slot #9 position. This is due to limitations with setup and diagnostic code
recognizing such adapters in that position.
2.88MB Support
The D40 (possibly C40 as well) support the 2.88MB floppy. It's in the setup
options...
Set ID
Your C: MUST be set to ID6, a second HD MUST be set to ID5, as the setup
lacks selectable start sequence. The SCSI adapter itself is ID7.
Something I haven't seen- if you add an auxiliary DASD module to slots 1 and
2, the drives must use ID0 to ID4. The drives within the Auxiliary DASD module
are considered as external SCSI devices.
Open the DASD Module
Pull up on one of the ears and twist the latches out. (Important to remove
them!). Now go to the back of the module and undo the two catches. Can't miss
them. The DASD module is the only one to have them. Pull the cover out. It will
pivot on the two tabs at the front edge.
Note: If you left the latches on, this will NOT work.
DASD Layout
Once you open the DASD up, the top swings back, held at the bottom by the
data and power cables.
HD Rails
Hard Drive Shapes Supported
The 7568 requires the squarish 0661/0662/0663 drives to fit the 7568
specific drive rails. The mounting holes on the 1" high 0662 do NOT match. You
can drill a new pair of screw holes in the rails, but keep this in mind- the
on-board SCSI is 50 pin, so why not keep with the 0661/3 1GB-2GB range?
Floppy Drive
The drive in the 7568 is used in the Model 70, PN 15F7503. It is a modified
ALPS DFP723D12F with a PCB screwed in place on the top. The drive that came
with an 8570 has a clear plastic sled screwed on, but the same PN 15F7503.
Another 8570 drive is a Mitsubishi MF355C-599MB.
Some pictures stolen from Alfred Arnold's page:
Remove the Floppy Drive
Remove the clear plastic spacers between the drive latches. Unscrew the two
screws on the outside of the shroud (they screw into the FD's bottom!). Spread
the two sets of latches one side at a time, pulling up on the FD. Once the FD
rails are past the latch, pull it back and up.
The floppy rails are held on with two screws per side. The funky thick black
bezel will come off quite easily AFTER you unscrew the front rail screw. Trust
me. Do NOT try to pry the thick bezel off, it is rather ready to fall off once
the front screws are half way out.
Drive Spacer
The important dimension is along the top. Take all your measurements from
that edge. The spacer is pictured upside-down to emphasis the critical
edge.
The 5 mm slot can be a bit wider, the 12 mm slot depth may be deeper. Round
off all sharp corners.
