and
Z2-D
Mounting
Procedure
The
HD-20
mounts
just
below
the
two
5"
floppy
disk
drives
in
the
System
Two.
Each
of
the
two
flopPY
disk
drives
is
held
in
its
metal
frame
by
means
of
6-32
screws.
Remove
th€!
two
bottom
retaining
screws
from
each
drive
and
then
reinstall
them
so
that
the
mounting
plate
for
the
HD-20
is
attached
to
the
bottom
of
the
two
floppy
disk
support
housings.
Refer
to
Figure
3.
Plug
the
HD-20
power
cord
into
the
plug
on
the
HD-20.
This
connector
is
designed
so
that
it
can
only
be
connected
one
way.
Now
slide
the
HD-20
onto
the
HD-20
mounting
plate.
Refer
to
Figure
4.
Power
Cable
Connection
To
install
the
power
cable
it
is
necessary
to
remove
the
top
cover
and
the
rear
panel
from
the
System
Two.
Route
the
HD-20
power
cord
along
the
same
pa
th
as
the
floppy
disk
power
cord
and
connect
to
the
power~upply
as
indicated
below.
This
cable
consists
of

Mounting
Procedure
The
HD-20
mounts
in
the
area
where
the
C
and
D
disk
drive
is
normally
located.
The
HD-20
cannot
be
installed
in
a
system
with
two
disk
drives
(four
slots
-
A, B, C,
and
D).
To
mount
the
drive
and
power
cable
it
is
necessary
to
remove
the
top
cover
and
the
rear
panel
from
the
System
Three.
Orient
the
HD-20
with
the
power
supply
cooling
fin
up
and
the
rear
of
the
drive
(part
where
the
signal
cable
is
connected)
facing
you.
See
Figure
5.
With
the
signal
cable
routed
along
the
right
side
of
the
drive,
slide
the
drive
into
the
mounting
area
far
enough
so
that
the
HD-20
power
plug
can
be
connected
through
the
top
opening
in
the
mounting
frame.
NOW,
slide
the
HO-20
forward
until
it
is
approximately
1
1/4"
from
the
front
of
the
mounting
frame
and
attach
the
drive
at
that
point
by
means
of
two
screws
as
shown
in
Figure
5.
The
signal
cable
should
be
routed
to
the
card
cage
following
the
same
path
used
by
the
floppy
disk
signal
cable.
Power
Cable

To
install
the
power
cable
it
is
necessary

fins
to
the
rear
of
the

CONVERTING HD20
TO
STS06 INTERFACE
Summary
The
modifications outlined in
this
Technical Bulletin allow
the
existing20MByte
IMI 5021H
to
be
converted
to
use
the
STS06
Interlace
as
opposed
to
the
1M!
bus
interface.
The
procedure
will
cover
20MByte drives
installedineither
the
HD-20.
or
CS-IH
products.
Completion of
this
modification allows
the
use
of
Cromemeo's new STOC
Controller
Board which
greatly
enhances
the
performance
of
the
drive, plus provides a slightly
larger
capacity
due
to
the
STOC method
of formatting.
