A UK-based hardware firm.
Hardware
- KDS Serial Interface
- KDS Power Controller
- KDS 5¼" Disc Drive
- KDS 8-Bit Printer Port
- KDS ROM Board
- KDS Communicator 104 (this modem connects directly to the CPC's expansion port)
- KDS Mini-Max Modem (this modem connects via RS232 interface)
- Serial and Parallel Port
- Printer T Switch
Software
- RAMDOS and ROMDOS (later resold by Siren Software)
Unidentified Hardware
KDS Interface for the Amstrad - there is some confusion on this device.
- Some people say it'd be a serial interface - this may be true, but it's definetly NOT the KDS Electronics Serial Interface (which has a 50pin connector).
- The device looks quite similar to the KDS 8-Bit Printer Port but with an additional cable attached to it, which isn't attached (or isn't visible) on the 8bit port photo, Media:KDS8Bit.jpg.
Actually, the KDS 8-Bit Printer Port should require a similar cable (for 5V power supply, which isn't available on the CPCs 34pin printer port). So it's quite possible that the "KDS Interface" and "KDS 8-Bit Printer Port" are the same hardware, both having the cable, but with the cable being not visible on one of the photos for whatever reason.
