I am cross posting this because it requires interdisciplinary talent.
IBM "just" announced 3.5" external drives, two different models for
PC's and AT's.
a) Who makes them?
b) What are the pinouts/interfaces (especially on the AT which has
no external connector on its floppy controller and only handles 2
disk drives)? What are the diffs between the XT/AT models?
c) Question C directed at Mac external drives.
d) Can a cable be devised to interchange these devices? (Use Apple
hardware on a PC)
e) Has anyone with IBM options and adapters tech ref or Hardware
service manuals rec'd updates for any of this new stuff? I own both,
am in the free update period, and have rec'd nothing to date.
Please reply to net.micro.pc or directly to centralize the respose.
I will cross post a summary as dictated by interest. Thanks.
