    D3142 Disk Drive  P/N 134-500558-531  and I think I
looked that up once
 and it came back as a 40 meg drive.  Has a 17 connectors for some kinda
 plug in one place and 10 more farther over with about a 3/8 gap between
 the two groups.  Oh, well, hell.  Here is a pic attached. 
 Those connectors are marked as 34 and 20 pin,  which means either MFM or
 RLL, depending.  I have some of that old stuff around,  but don't have any
 near-term plans to use any of it.  Dunno anybody else who does,
 either.  I can forward a snip of that info to the classic computers list
 and see if anybody wants it,  though.  Want anything for it? 
 Nah, just postage if anyone can use it.  I never will. 
I have the pic here if anybody wants to see it.  Can any of you guys use this 
thing?  If so let me know offlist and I'll put you in touch...
