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

- If you push down on the latch to open and close it, it's a Micropolis.

- If it's got a flip-up latch and you can see a 4mm wide silver metal piece 
across the disk slot on both sides of the (closed) latch, it's a Tandon.

- If it's got a flip-up latch and you can slip a piece of cardboard into the 
slot on either side of the (closed) latch, it's an MPI.

Right, I haven’t followed and read the whole thread. In this case I may 
check a few the working ones, which I have easier access to. Shall post back 
later.
