h1. Olympia Disque with IKBS

The *Olympia Disque* is an electronic daisywheel typwriter with single-line alphanumeric display, battery-buffered RAM and a proprietary 2" floppy disk drive.

It was possible to enable the Olympia Disque for Teletex, either with an internal add-on-board (IKBS) or with an external device.

h3. Mainboard

The Mainboard comes assembled in a stack with two daughter boards:

{{thumbnail(olympia_disque_floppy_controller_top.jpg, size=500)}}

{{thumbnail(olympia_disque_floppy_controller_and_drive.jpg, size=500)}}

As you can see in the picture, the plastic part holding the drive motor has cracked and the motor has fallen out.

h3. IKBS board (63.400-6101.1 / ANT 66.3820.600.00-A001 SA-Ausg.B)

This is the internal extensions board turning the daisywheel typewriter into a Teletex device.

The board is the only one in the machine having shield covers, on both top and bottom side.

{{thumbnail(olympia_disque_ikbs_top_shield.jpg, size=500)}}

{{thumbnail(olympia_disque_ikbs_bot_shield.jpg, size=500)}}

The label may indicate it was actually built by ANT and not by Olympia?
