Also, 34 was the answer. I put a piece of tape on pin

and all seems well now. It seems like the 1.44M use that line for detecting
the 720k disk while the 360K used it for disk change. I just couldn't recall
what line was involved.
Ah. My guess wasn't too far off, then. I just looked in one box of stuff
here, and have these little adapters that were make for when the cable has
card-edge type connectors but the drive has pin-type. Some of them are just
adapters, but some also have a jumper on board to deal with that issue, and
the one I just looked at is labeled "TEAC".
(And if anybody needs any of these feel free to contact me offlist. :-)
