Disc drives from [[Vortex_Computersysteme|Vortex]], with 80 tracks and 720K capacity (704K available).
== Vortex F1/M1 S- and D-Drives (720K/disk) ==
* '''F1 - S''' Single 5.25" drive with power supply connected via ribbon cable to interface with [[FDC|NEC765]] and [[VDOS]] 1.0 or 2.11
See below.
== Vortex F1/M1 Z-Drives (180K/side) ==
* '''F1 - Z''' Single 5.25" drive with power supply with ribbon cable (does not come with interface containing FDC or [[VDOS]])
TO BE CONFIRMED: Are the drives 80 track, double sided? Is there any way to access the second side with AMSDOS (e.g. side switch??)
== Vortex F1/M1 X-Drives (720K/disk) ==
* '''F1 - X''' Single 80 track, Double Sided, 5.25" drive with power supply and ribbon cable which connects to interface containing [[VDOS]] 2.0
== Vortex Add-ons ==
* Vortex X modul -Modul (adding RS232 support to -X drives)* VDOS2VDOS 2.0 (upgrading older drives to [[VDOS]] 2.0)
* Second drive unit (for upgrading a single -S drive to a dual -D drive)
The X drive has a different PCB than the PCB for the S, the manual describes connecting the DDI-1 interface to the X drive interface and a 'decoder-ROM' which defines the I/O decoding?
* Note1: The -Z and -X drives do not include FDC chips.
