I have a Qume (I think) half-height but it has a funky (6 pins) power
connector. I have another one (maybe that's the Qume model?) that has a
wholly non-standard data connector. I also have a subsystem with 2 MPI
Model 42 half-height drives. I tried that but could not get it to work at
all (heads would not engage, though the drives did seem to select). I
have no data on them so I had to give up. I'm sure I have some more but I
ran out of time to look.
Will try again tomorrow...

Has anyone ever actually successfully hooked an
8" drive to a PC
controller and gotten it to work? If so, who is that person?
Yes, Al Kossow and I both have. We are using a Qume half-height
drive. Works fine.
