INTRODUCTION
This document provides hardware and software instructions for installing and using an AM-212-20 SCSI
diskette drive assembly in an Eagle 450 or AM-6000 series computer system. The AM-212-20 is a
narrow SCSI device that attaches to the existing SCSI bus in the computer system. Enhanced
performance of the diskette is achieved by utilizing existing AMOS features including DCACHE, and
disk write caching when using native AM-SCSI format diskettes.
If you are installing an AM-212-20 floppy drive into an external subsystem, use the installation
instructions shipped with the subsystem together with the information provided in this document.
These instructions are written for the experienced Alpha Micro Service Technician, so if you do not feel
comfortable performing the hardware and software procedures discussed below, please contact your
Alpha Micro dealer or the Alpha Micro Technical Assistance Center for help.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AM-212-20 is the Alpha Micro model name for the SCSI bus compatible 3-1/2" floppy diskette drive.
This product is supported only on the AM-6000, AM-6060 and Eagle 450 AMOS based computer
systems. The floppy drive has a narrow SCSI (50-pin) interface that connects directly to the narrow SCSI
bus. For connection to wide SCSI (68-pin) environments, utilize a special right angle narrow-to-wide
SCSI adapter (PDB-00440-92), available from Alpha Micro. No separate controller is required.
The AM-212-20 introduces a new native SCSI diskette format (AM-SCSI) that is not compatible with
previous Alpha Micro diskette systems. For compatibility, the AM-212-20 also supports the traditional
AMOS format and MS-DOS format diskettes. The AM-212-20 is a 3.5" diskette drive using standard,
readily available, 3.5" diskettes. The following formats are supported:
AMOS 720KB 3.5" double density
AMOS 1.44MB 3.5" high density
PC 720KB 3.5" double density
PC 1.44MB 3.5" high density
AM-SCSI 720KB 3.5" double density
AM-SCSI 1.44MB 3.5" high density
The AM-212-20 floppy diskette product installation package consists of the diskette drive itself and the
necessary hardware to mount it into the computer chassis.
The AM-212-20 has the same environmental specifications as your computer. Operational specifications
are contained in the documentation that accompanied your computer system.
TOOLS REQUIRED
For most installations, the only tool you will need to install the AM-212-20 is a #2 Phillips-head
screwdriver.
