Re: Who owns a 8050/8250 with tandon drives?

Right you are, I forgot about the 'garage door' Safaris; don't have any so 
can't advise how to distinguish them. from the Tandons & MPIs.

BTW,
"There are two version from DOS 2.5 (only 8050) with 901482-03/901482-04 and
901482-06/901482-07 and one version of DOS 2.7 (8050 or 8250) with
901487-01/901488-01 known. If you find an other version, it would be great
to dump this, too."

I thought the 2.7 ROMs were 901887-01/901888-01; was the 901487/488 a typo,
or is there indeed another version?

That's only for the Micropolis 1006-II (SS) and Micropolis 1006-IV (DS)
drives.

There exists a micropolis drive with flip-up latch, too. This is the
Micropolis 1106-II (SS) or Micropolis 1106-IV (DS) called Safari.
