I know I can use any length of ribbon I want. What
I'd like to know is
what it was when it was new. (and it's 34 pin card-edge connectors that
are needed :) )
I take them off old PC floppy cables.
The drive is a Miniscribe 8425S and AFAIK, it's set
to ID 0 with the
terminating resistors installed. Seagate or Maxtor is not listed as a
_controller_ choice when HFORMAT is run.
Yep! It's possible to use that drive but the Ampro provided tools only
recognized drives from the era, there were many good choices in
later years.
