The 8" external drive is a Y-E Data YD-180 1600 (DSDD), and has a typical 50-pin .1" header, but it has a unique pinout. I built my own adapter on perfboard with 50-pin and 34-pin headers. The other end of the 50-conductor cable has a much smaller connector with .05" pin spacing. Also, the numbering scheme is different; pin 1 at the drive connects to pin 26 at the CPU connector.Namida88 wrote:May I ask what adaptator you're using to connect the floppy cable to the HxC ?
Is the original drive an external 8" drive ? So is your cable a scsi like one ?
If so what is the brand/model of the drive you replaced ?
The Future32 has a 68020 (16MHz) and 2-6MB RAM. It has graphics and a 16-color display. The OS is CP/M-68K with extensions and enhancements.
