Hmm so, am I
correct to think I could connect this quite simply to a
FDADAP floppy disk adapter ?
Would I need anything else ?

What are you trying to do with it? Buy a catweasel mk4.
Was planning on buying one already so.
Find an older PC, many handle FM just fine but only
trial and error will
let you know. Some older add-on cards work with FM including some Adaptec
ISA SCSI controllers with a floppy disk port.
It may help to build a list of systems/boards that handle FM. I use a
Compaq Prolinea 575e (P100).
Have plenty of old controllers so should I have FDADAP I could perhaps make
a list of which work and which dont. Hmm and ehmm, P100 old ? :)
You will need a 34 to 50 pin cable. The pin-out is
available on my website.
Well the FDADAP should also take care of that shouldn't it ?
