I'd wonder more about the vintage of the
5.25" drive, some of which used 150
ohm pullups on input lines. This may require a bit too much drive current
from a modern CMOS floppy interface. When I got a Catweasel I, I found
that it had problems with some old 5.25' drives. I simply wired up a
buffer with some 74LS07s and LS14s, which cleared the problem up.
That's a good point, and one that I hadn't considered.
