New subject: Need SA400 help & VCF

  The original post on this thread mentioned not having
a "standard" floppy
 power connector (Molex), and not knowing the pinout of the
 connector(s). 
Upon very close examination I can see some stray flux around the solder
connections to the four-pin header (which is present instead of the Molex
connector), so my guess is that the original connector was removed by a
user.  The additional write-protect switch, however, is a *very*
professional installation.

...
  Could it be that his SA400 is an aftermarket drive
for
 Apple (or something else), where the Shugart board was replaced by
 something weirder? 
Possible.  The drive came from a home-built enclosure which also contained
a home-made PSU and ZX81-compatible keyboard (no ZX81 board, though :<( )

Also, since all of my other systems use 40-track drives, I doubt I'll ever
have any use for this thing.  Are they still commonly available?  If not, I
may hang on to it "just in case."  Otherwise, it's probably off to eBay
unless someone on this list wants it and is willing to pay postage.
