This was a floppy disk system used with an Altair 8800. It is missing the drive electronics board. Includes two floppy drives, the case with power supply, two S-100 controller boards and the manual. The manual is for the Micropolis Basic software and some minor information about configuring the hardware. It is not a detailed hardware manual.No guarantees that any part of this would operate correctly. The cabinet is somewhat attractive and might look nice in a collection.The floppy drive used hard-sectored diskettes to store 320K per disk when most diskettes were about 1/4 that capacity. Includes one sample diskette which almost certainly is not usable.
