Hi,
I am searching for information on a Kalok Model KL 320 disk drive that was in a computer used by my uncle. My uncle has passed and the computer was disposed of. I was given the drive and the controller board yesterday in hopes that I could recover genealogy information from it. (I don't know if the drive still functions, or not.)
I have the original IBM 8088 computer I bought in 1983 (with two floppy drives); but, I no longer have the IBM models from the later part of the '80s.
Can anyone tell me what options there are for accessing the disk drive to copy data? Is my only option to install the drive in an older system? I have used Granite Digital's drive copy hardware for SATA and IDE drives; but, I'm at a loss to come up with a plan for this drive.
Here's a link to a web page I found for the hard drive: http://archive.hmvh.net/txtfiles/hdd/KL320-3.MAN.txt
I have done some searching today; but, I haven't found anything helpful.
Thanks for any help that you can offer.
Thanks,
Jeff
