• IVM Disc Drive

    Hey gang, I just got an old IVM MD 128 MidiDisk and am in need of a power supply, or power specs so I can possibly build my own.

    To everyone who has MidiDisk floppies they can't read, I wanted to mention the IVM MidiDisk bears an interesting resemblance to the Alesis DataDisk. In the 80s-90s Alesis was known for buying good designs from smaller companies and manufacturing them
    under the Alesis brand. I'm willing to bet this might be the case with the IVM DataDisk, so if you can get your hands on an Alesis DataDisk (also somewhat rare, but I see them pop up on ebay occasionally) it's worth trying to read your IVM floppies in
    the Alesis.

    On the subject of power supplies, the Alesis also has a funky proprietary PS except it's a 4-pin unlike the IVM 6-pin so no luck for me there. Any info or pics anyone can provide of their PS would be a big help!
