old National databook wanted

[Matt Carpenter]

Ok, I'm fishing.

I'm looking for an old databook I used to own: National Mass Storage
Handbook (from 1988 or 1989).

This book has a great description of disk drive operation and the associated
signals.

Unfortunately, I must have thrown it away. Now I'd like to re-learn some of
that content.

National simply reports that, indeed, the book is not published anymore!

Any help appreciated! Please drop me an e-mail (just in case I don't catch
the group reply)

I have a copy, though it's from 1986. Won't sell it. (I don't think
I've ever opened that book before.)

By the way, I think this part of the book is AN-413, which you can
find in .pdf form here :
