So I just picked up this MacBottom DE-9 RS-232 serial hard drive for the 128K/512K made by Personal Computer Peripheral Corp in 1984. It's a pretty cool thing, but nearly useless without a driver. Anybody got any idea where I might find one?

This MacBottom oddly has a half-height, 3.5" 20MB MFM MiniScribe drive (model 8425) from 1987 in it. Not sure if it is a replacement or MacBottom was still making serial drives for the 512K.

Did you find one?
I have an old MAC SE that still works great but the MACBOTTOM is not
readable without the driver. I might have to reformat the MACBOTTOM
since my Norton Disk Doctor cannot recover all of the files.

They were originally made in Tampa, FL and I sent mine in several years ago to be fixed. They claimed it was fixed but it never worked eventhough I mailed it to them twice - go figure.

:rolleyes:
