-------------- Original message from Jules Richardson <julesrichardsonuk at
yahoo.co.uk>: --------------
We've just acquired a Motorola Exormacs system, which is sadly without its
floppy drive cable (40 pins on the Exormacs side, 50 on the 8" floppy unit
(Exordrive III I believe).
I suspect the floppy side is just straight-through to the drives, but can
anyone confirm that, and does anyone know the pinout on the system unit side
of things?
Worst-case we'll have to reverse engineer it, but maybe someone knows (we've
got no floppies for the system and no useful manuals unfortunately)
cheers
Jules
I have a Disk II here and the cable is 40 pin from the
back of the drive to te controller card..
If needed it can open it up and see what happens inside.
The boot images are on Bit Savers but not set up yet.
I have the URL if needed
Still working on the NCR's
