Based on the depth of the ongoing discussion, I gave this a try. I works!
In any case, blowing a transistor is a lot less of a
problem than blowing
a custom chip.
The transistor is on the Amiga (which I was using for schematic examples); this
drive is going on bizzaro PC device.
I've forgotten what you're trying to do, but
what happens if you just
match up signal names as above?
I'm trying to make a cable to hook up floppy drive to a proprietary DB-25
external connector on a sealed PeeCeeoid.
Thanks for the help!
