Thanks very much Chuck but looks like it works. Once I found the speed control line it was
a simple matter of cutting that trace, routing a pseudo-ready to pin 34 and adding a 3-pin
header for drive 0/1 select.
But being a typical anal nerd, it'd still be nice to see a datasheet or at least the
functions of the various jumpers...

I could probably kludge the oval eject button and
whatever else
needed to make another drive fit, but I wanted to play around with
modding other drives for 8" emulation anyway while I was at it.
I think I may have enough to make them work, but thanks for returning
the tip ;-)
Well, I probably have one of the NEC drives in my stash, so if you get
stuck, I'll willing to put my own drive under the soldering iron. Most
of the NEC drives that I've seen are capable of 3-mode operation,
however they try to hide it. Same for most Teac high-density drives.
