I have a Qume DT-8 8" DS drive here which I'm

to dump a number of 8" floppies, but I lack the manual and schematic
for it, and I have no idea what the pinout for the data/power/spindle
drive/etc connectors is. It doesn't use a standard shugart connector
for data at least, its a 50-pin thing, so I'll need to make some sort
of pinout converter once I know the proper pinout. The 2 terminators
are both installed.
I do know the drive needs 5v and 24v to run, and I'm not about to
power it up without checking EVERYTHING first. I'm also missing the
funny 3-pin and 6-pin molex-like connectors used to supply power to
the pcb and the spindle motor, if anyone has any spares.
Argh, of course. 50 pins, terminators, it must be SCSI or SASI. well,
that makes hooking it up more interesting for sure...
