The electronics are identical in the D9090 and the D9060 unit; the only difference is the size of the installed hard drive, with a jumper set to distinguish between 4 or 6 disk heads. Originally intended for the metal-cased PET series of computers, they were also usable with the Commodore 64 and later models with an adapter. Technical data
Internally the system was made up of four major parts:
Input voltage: 100, 117, 220, 240 V AC Power supply4-pin plug & cable - wiring and voltages follow world standard for large drive power cables, but colours are not standard.
CBM DOS 3.0 PCBThis DOS PCB is made up of several major electronic components:
Disk system buffer = 4 kB (8 × 2114 SRAM chips) Commodore device number selectable between 8 - 11 (on IC 7H : 6532) Connecting 2 hard drives to one (SASI) controllerCapable of managing 2 x MFM hard drive mechanisms, which is communicated to the user as two combined directories, with one header number = 0 and the other header number = 1 This is unlike other Commodore drives of this era, which required each separate disk directory to be called individually with a command LOAD"0:$",8 and LOAD"1:$",8 for the two drives that reside in device 8. It appears the DOS was never fully completed by Commodore; this is indicated by the way two directories overlap for the one device and the number of blocks free is displayed as if only one hard drive is in use. SASI controllerThe main brain driving this controller is the AMD 'AM2910' (a high-performance 8-bit slice microprogram sequencer) The SASI interface was invented by Shugart that became SEAGATE. SASI eventually became standardized and is known today as SCSI. {{clear}}Hard driveInternally the system had a transfer rate of 5.0 Mbit/s from the hard drive to the CBM DOS 3.0 Controller PCB. TANDON was founded in 1975[4] and became part of Western Digital (WD) in 1988.[5] Cylinders = 153 (per hard disc) 6 head drive contains 3 x platters, 4 head drive contains 2 platters. Sectors per Cylinder = 192 (D9090) Sectors per Cylinder = 128 (D9060) Sectors per track = 32 Bytes per sector = 256 Access time Track-to-Track, Average: 153 ms, 99 ms[2] Error Rates:[2] Soft Read: {{val|1|e=10|ul=bit{{!}}bits}} Hard Read: {{val|1|e=12|ul=bit{{!}}bits}} Seek Errors: {{val|1|e=6|ul=seeks}} Recording density: 7690 BPI (bits per inch)[2] Transfer speed: 5 Mbit/s[2] +12V D.

The D9090 & D9060 were designed for usage primarily on the Commodore PET Family of computers, but because these metal-cased family of machines were obsoleted by the VIC-20 and the Commodore 64. The greatest demand for these drives came from the biggest home computer user market in the world at the time, the Commodore 64 user. As a result, Several companies built interfaces that effectively give a VIC-20 and Commodore 64/128 an IEEE-488 Port. Commodore created a VIC-20 IEEE 488 cartridge with model number "VIC-1112". {{clear}}The Commodore 64 IEEE-488 Cartridges were made by various companies, but Commodore themselves never made one for the Commodore 64/128 family.
Some other interfaces without pictures available:
Commodore 64/128 usage{{unreferenced section|date=June 2015}}The D9090 & D9060 Hard Drive was highly sought after in the early 1980s by people using the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128 who wanted to taste the luxury of having all their utilities and games in one place, and being able to load these files and games at high speed, with an overall loading speed {{nowrap|5 times}} faster than the standard drive that most people were using Commodore 1541 with "664 BLOCKS FREE" {{nowrap|(166 kB).}} Where as a D9090 hard Drive has 29,162 BLOCKS FREE {{nowrap|(7290 kB).}} Which is why many bulletin board systems (BBS) were set up using these hard drives because they could access information so fast and could hold so much information compared to the 1541 disk drive which could only access {{nowrap|170 kB}} on one side of one disk at one time. By the late 1980s, the Commodore 64 had obsoleted all other Commodore 8-bit machines mainly because of the sheer number of users worldwide and also the market support from so many 3rd party software & hardware companies. As a result, the older IEEE-488 Disk Drives & Hard drives were being acquired by large numbers of C64 owners to connect to their computer using an IEEE-488 Interface. This has put pressure on the supply of these devices as nowadays they are wanted by both Commodore 64/128 users and also needed by people using the PET family of machines, that these drives were specifically designed for. Partitions and sub directoriesDue to the structure of the onboard DOS 3.0, there is only one main Partition which contains the directory and all the saved files. There are no sub directories so eventually you run into trouble when you type LOAD"$",8 and LIST, the directory list fills the screen and then scrolls away. You can pause the directory listing as with any Commodore computer. But if you have scores or hundreds of files saved, then the user must wait some time until the entire directory listing has finished scrolling.

Internal explainedAny 4 or 6 head MFM drive mechanism can be used as a replacement mechanism. FormattingDespite the trifling storage space (by conventional standards) of these legacy hard drives, formatting either can require a fair amount of patience from the user:
Software, drivers & Technical supportCommodore 64 based software for drive management, file transfers & repair diagnosis is available from the SPACE_TAXI website. A software & cable combination exists which allows using a common x86 compatible PC as a Virtual IEEE-488 hard drive.
