It doesn't use the 4869 units, they came out later with the PS/2 line of
machines ....just everyday floppies wired as if the ribbon cable came out of the
case where the 37D connector is. I did the same with my Sanyo MBC-555 years ago,
making my own external case with the 2 externals in it. The 4869 would work with
a repinning, and a pass-through to another drive. Of course you have to jumper
the externals as DS2 and DS3 (on drives that jumper from DS0 to DS3)

According to the jumper settings on the 5150, it
appears that 4 floppy
drives can be connected to the computer. How is this possible? I'm
guessing 2 internal, and two external, but there's only one connector for an
external drive, so it would only allow 3 drives.
Or is there a special controller that has dual external ports?
Any suggestions?
