Old ibm laptop

Post by mau_rizio »

Hi, a friend of mine is asking if the hxc will work on an Ibm 8533 N33/sx laptop.
The original drive is PANASONIC JU-237A04W (P/N 79F5671) and i've found this pinouts:

He don't know if the drive is media sense or not, but it has 34 pins.
Do you think hxc will work?

Thank you
mau

This is not the standard floppy pinout (the power supply is part of the connector), so you can't wire it straight to the HxC connector, you need an adapter.
Other than that, all the needed signals seems to be there.
