I tore apart a couple of assemblies that came out of an IBM "SSA" setup,
these had a small switch panel, LCD, keyswitch (useless since I don't have
keys), and a floppy drive which, when I pulled it out, resembled a PS/2
style drive, though it did have a separate 4-pin power connector and no
faceplate. The short ribbon cable in there went to a single connector (pin
type) that had the power wiring coming out of it as well.
Can anybody use these?
I also have a regular PS/2 floppy drive as well, and no particular need for
it. I'd corresponded with somebody about that a while back, pulled it out
of the box it was in, and it never went anywhere. This one has the single
card-edge connector in the back of it, and again no faceplate.
Either of these items of interest, feel free to contact me off-list.
