- I picked up an Epson disk drive for a 720K 3.5" floppy and would like to
- use it in a home project. I have no specs. I don't know what the drive
- came
- out of. The drive has a connector with 34 pins in two rows. Does anyone
- know how to interface to this or any other drive with such a connector? I
- don't have much to lose by trying the wrong interface. I will risk the
- drive on the wrong pin-outs because it is of no use to me now. Does
- anyone
- know where to look? I tried Epson, but they were no help. The drive is no
- longer in production. Any help is appreciated.
