Is TG43 available on both the internal 34-pin and
the external DC(DB)-37 connector on the
CompatiCard? Some old posts suggest that it's only
output externally, but the CC manual seems to
treat both internal and external connections to an
8" drive equally valid.

TG43 is also sometimes called "RWC" for
reduced
write current. On many later 8" drives, this is
a NC.

Yup. The wiring of the 34-to-50 position
connector is also documented
in the CC manual.
Chuck,
I've seen the wiring info in the manual and I
just looked through the PDF
version of the manual I have. I could not find
any mention of TG43 in my
quick look through. Do you by any chance know
where the info is? Thanks.
