The Beebug Archimedes Disc Buffer allows a 5¼" floppy disc drive to be connected to an Archimedes. This was particularly useful for those of us with both BBC Bs or Masters and an Archimedes as it enable you to read BBC ADFS 5¼" discs on the Archimedes.

The ribbon cable connects to the Archimedes 3.5" disc drive and then to the motherboard. The red and black wires are for +5V and 0V and connect to the Archimedes powersupply via a splitter.

I have no documentation for the Beebug Archimedes Disc Buffer.
