laptops and 5.25 inch floppy drives?

is anyone familiar with the P1/P2 Thinkpads? My *busted* 560e has an external...well everything actually. It probably has close to 34 pins on the floppy connector. The 380z *also busted* has an internal unit. I wouldn't be adverse to going inside and routing the connections to the outside world. But even if a suitable controller/drive combination were to be found, there's still the possibility that it will be very discriminating w/it's affections. I tried, and tried, to get ID to work with 2 boxes over the weekend (the ones I had on hand). It didn't like neither a generic 486 (although that controller could have been flaky), nor a generic Cyrix MII which has never let me down otherwise. My frustrations led me to ask the question... If anyone has a small batch of working ISA floppy/ide controllers they don't want to hang onto, I'm interested. --- Chuck Guzis <cclist at sydex.com> wrote: __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
