2024-03-02: The wiki ran out of disk space, so things were not working. This has been resolved by adding another 5GB of quota ;-) Thanks to Tim Lindner for reporting the issues.
2020-05-17: If a page gives you an error about some revision not being found, just EDIT the page and the old page should appear in the editor. If it does, just SAVE that and the page should be restored. OS-9 Al (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2020 (CDT)

Home / Hardware - Tandy/Radio Shack MC10 Disk Drive
The disk drive system is designed to be a viable interface for the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model MC-10 Micro Color Computer, or MC-10 for short.
Although the MC-10 had an expansion slot that could theoretically have been used for a disk drive, Radio Shack's only officially supported use for the slot was a 16K RAM plug-in. The only officially acknowledged and intended program/data storage and retrieval method was via the MC-10's standard TRS-80 cassette port.
In 2011, Darren Atkinson designed a disk drive interface [1], with prototype build and test help from Rogelio Perea. See YouTube video of the disk drive.
An MC-10 Disk Basic was also under development and testing.
