Oddly enough I have a 9457 Lark out in the shed. The trick is the SMD to
whatever it is connection is made in the power supply box, there is a
ribbon cable going from the box to up to two drives and an SMD interface
on the other side. Do you have the power supply?

Hello,
well maybe my memory has blank spots.
I have two CDC Lark Disk modules I would like to revive, they are in good
shape, but only one has a cartridge included, and they are not identical.
Not sure if the other one could be employed without cartridge.
I never found a manual with exact model correspondence, I found years ago a
manual for very similar drives.
IIRC there was a sort of adapter board between SMD and (xxx blank spot)
interface. There was a description of the interface, it was really similar
to SMD, but wasn't SMD...
Maybe I should check again the Lark model number.
