Here's the history:  Abekas founded. Sold. Abekas founders start Accom. It folds, but they buy assets and operate as Abekas.

For manuals and other interesting things...
Click here... http://abekas.com/product/Legacy_Products//page1037.htm

and then go to the FTP site:
ftp://ftp.abekas.com and look in the Legacy Products folder for the model you're after.

Some of the documentation goes back to Diaquest, and an Accom DDR to PC file transfer application.

I have a Diskus lurking in storage, and a manual box with manual from September, 1995 for software version 2.1 at hand. 

Just pulled the entire Diskus folder onto my MacBook Pro... and it appears there's 3.0 and a beta 3.1, so will have some fun at some point having an install.  Which should be fun.  Floppy drive on the back side of the machine.  And it seems to run on IRIX, so getting from Mac w/o floppy to Discus with floppy in ?? format will be interesting.
