CONNECTING 4 DISK DRIVES TO SCORPIONS! 
                                          
 On your machine you probably         
have already felt the need to connect to
additional drives C: and D:, not
contemplated by the design. Using below
given instructions at minimum ma-
in real costs you will be able to spend
simple modification of your computer. For
for this you will need any de-chip
encoder with inverse outputs and open
collector, for example, IDS or ID10. Desire-
It is important that these microcircuits are from K155,
KR5Z1 or KR1531 series. Using other
hy series, such as K555, KR1533, less
preferably, due to their comparative
low load capacity.           
                                          
   First of all, cut the paths going
to pins 10 and 12 of the drive connector. When
In this case, pay attention to the numbering of the con-
beats: on one side there are four-
numeric, and on the other - odd, and the input is 3 mic

  Below are two instructions for wiring
ke decoder chips. When connected
additional drives, you can manually
be used by any of them, depending
from the selected element base.
