If you have the old style found on Imsai like the calcomp drives then
how would you use them on a shugart interface.

Normally, you can just ignore it. You still get the 'raw' bitstream on
one pin of the interface connector, it's just that the drive tries to do
a clock/data serparation assuming it's an FM stream at the standard rate
and sends out the sepearated clock and data on 2 other pins. So just use
the first, raw, data pin.

Some drives have an onboard FM data separator.
Indeed - I think I've come across that before. For drives that have it, can it
typically be disabled?
