HKD-6200
8” Disk Replacement System

Used on the Evans & Sutherland SP1, SP2 and SP3 and the McDonnell Douglas VITAL IV

The HKD-6200 has been designed to replace the AED 6200 range of disk storage system. It works by emulating the Read/Write Command set of the AED 6200. Additionally, the host interface is effectively identical to that of the AED 6200. Therefore, to the host system, the HKD 6200 appears to be identical to a double sided, dual drive AED 6200, hence avoiding the need for any modifications to either the host's hardware or software.
