Changes
The Vortex S- and D-drives were originally intended as upgrades to CPC 464 setups already having a DDI-1/FD-1. This adapter allowed to continue using the 3" drive. Since only two drives can be used simultaneously, the drive had to be selected manually using a RSX command.

=== X-Modul (RSRS232-232C C Interface) ===
The "X-Modul" adds a RSRS232-232C C interface to -X drives. It is suspected to be at least partially compatible with Amstrad/Pace interfaces. * [[Media:Vortex RS232-C Manual.pdf|Vortex RS232-C Manual]] {{DE}} (pdf)
