ISA ( PC ) 8" floppy disk CONTROLLER ???

[Mike Stein]

Is TG43 available on both the internal 34-pin and 
the external DC(DB)-37 connector on the 
CompatiCard? Some old posts suggest that it's only 
output externally, but the CC manual seems to 
treat both internal and external connections to an 
8" drive equally valid.
