Mr. Larry Kenny, RR-2, Navan, Ontario, Canada K4B 1H9, is the owner of LARKEN ELECTRONICS. Larry is an Engineer and has developed the Larken Disk Drive System for the TS-2068. Other significant developments by Larken is the abbreviated Disk Driver Cartridge which interfaces to other Disk drive system. This is called “The LKDOS Cartridge” and it provides a “Dual DOS” when used with either the Oliger SAFE or the Aerco FD-68 disk drive controllers. One more significant development by Larry is the Larken RAM DISK, an extra memory device which “acts as a disk drive” for storage of data.
Larken Electonics is one of our most valuable Cottage Industry supporters of the TS-2068 and we need Larry to continue to develop the hardware additions that only an engineer who knows the TS-2068 can provide. This section in UP-DATE is devoted to providing information about the Larken Disk System(s) in the same manner as we provide the section titled “Computing with SDOS, by John Oliger. These two Cottage Industries, The Oliger Co., and Larken Electronics, form the nucleus of our TS-2068 Disk Systems support because of their continuing up-dates of their systems and their constant quest to produce new and inovative hardware systems.
This section is provided as a forum to support all aspects of the Larken Electronics system users. Larry has promised his inputs, and already UP-DATE has had outstanding article support by two avid Larken Disk users, George Chambers and Bob Mitchell. The more who joins in, the better the support. The Larken Disk systems began late, after two others had quit, leaving the users without support (see orphans). Just now, the TS-2068 users are finding out about what Larken Disk has to offer, to both the first time disk user and to users of other disk systems who want a inexpensive “second DOS”.
