A couple Altair questions:
Question 1 - has anyone seen/created an adapter for the
37-pin d-sub connector for the Altair floppy drive to the
later standard 5.25" floppy interface. I use the term
"standard" rather loosely, but am refering to the 34-pin
connector used by the TRS-80, Heathkit, and numerous
other machines of the late 70's. This "standard" with
a couple changes became the PC's 5.25" interface. It
doesn't look too tough, and I have a basic design in
mind, by why re-invent the wheel if I don't have to?
Question 2 - where can I find some blank hard-sectored
32-sector 8" floppies?
