What's the damned thing do, i can't find anything on it anywhere, and does anyone have the hardware to mount 2 half height drives in the xt class chassis? I'm just about done getting the xt the way i want it, and want to close it up, but i need the hardware otherwise i'm gonna have to modify my 360kb from an old deskpro and i don't want to do that |

all old floppies were set a B
the cable should have a twisted portion
and B drive gets a straight thru cable.
drives from OFF-Brtands ( tandy etc) will not work.the twist is near the striped edge.
1) holes
2: edge card
( twist starts)
4:holes
5:edge card
tignore 1 connect 2 to the xt controller
connect 5 to the xt floppy |
