I have always found it interesting how quickly people will go chopping
up circuit boards. Before you do this, consider chopping up a ribbon
cable instead. Ribbon cables are cheap and easy to replace if you
later change to a different make of drive or if you simply screw up
making the modification. I run SA-851's on my 16FDC with a simply
modified ribbon cable.
Bill, the Tandon 848's look like they have a pretty similar interface to the
SA-851. I have two TM-848-2's I would like to hook up - what chance do you
think that your modified cable might work (I'm with you on this one rather
than board cut'n'shut) and if so could you kindly email me the layout
off-list?
