- As I look at the pile of unused (unusable) 8" drives in one corner of
- my basement, I came up with a couple of questions
-
- 1) What do I need for the DIP style terminator resistors on Qume DataTrak8
- DSDS drive?
-
- 2) I have a couple of fancy 1/2 height NEC 8" drives that use DC power
- only. What is the pin out on the power plug? I't a little 4 or 5
- square pins in row connector, not the usual massive block style.
-
- 3) Does anyone have mods to a cheap PC floppy controller to let it read/write
- 8" drives? I'm not interested in buying a new card, but have several
- extra XT and AT floppy controllers to experiment with.
