2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

Home / Hardware - Tandy/Radio Shack MC10 Disk Drive
The disk drive system is designed to be a viable interface for the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model MC-10 Micro Color Computer, or MC-10 for short.
Although the MC-10 had an expansion slot that could theoretically have been used for a disk drive, Radio Shack's only officially supported use for the slot was a 16K RAM plug-in. The only officially acknowledged and intended program/data storage and retrieval method was via the MC-10's standard TRS-80 cassette port.
In 2011, Darren Atkinson designed a disk drive interface [1], with prototype build and test help from Rogelio Perea. See YouTube video of the disk drive.
An MC-10 Disk Basic was also under development and testing.
