External enclosure for 5-1/4 drive...

Rumor has it that Fred Cisin may have mentioned these words: what about the DEC SCSI bridgeboard for (at least) the VaxStation/VaxServer 3100 series machines? I'm *almost* positive that it takes a standard (1.44IBMeg) 3.5" floppy drive - now whether that can be kludged to handle a 5.25" drive, I can't say - I don't know if the bridgeboard *expects* an 1.44IBMeg drive at those datarates... The more I've been getting back into my CoCo shiznit, I've been wondering about the Toshiba PCMCIA floppy drive - Anyone know if that uses a "normal" floppy chipset that could be kluged to handle a 5.25" drive? I've been diddling with DriveWire for the CoCo, running it thru a USB->RS232 adapter (my Fujitsu Lifebook doesn't have normal serial/parallel/floppy ports - heck, even the replaceable internal Floppy drive is USB... (tho if it wasn't, I'd assume it would be IDE instead of Floppy, as that would still save them a bit on the chipset to not implement that separately...) Google stumbled me across this: http://www.galaxystor.com/SCSI_Floppy_Drive.htm Take this with a grain of salt, and prolly a fat pocketbook, but the PDF shows a picture of the circuit and it has a 34-pin connector... and the PDF does mention something about 1.2IBMeg... Ah well, maybe the truth *is* out there... ;-) [[ This from a guy who's only watched 2 episodes of the X-files...]] Laterz, Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- SysAdmin, Iceberg Computers zmerch at 30below.com What do you do when Life gives you lemons, and you don't *like* lemonade?????????????
