I have no idea what the pinout for the data/power/spindle drive/etc
connectors is. It doesn't use a standard shugart connector for data at least,
its a 50-pin thing, so I'll need to make some sort of pinout converter once I
know the proper pinout. The 2 terminators are both installed.
50-pin *is* the standard Shugart connector for 8" drives. It is definitely
*not* SCSI. And of course there are terminators, or least provision for
mounting them, as in each floppy drive.
