4-December-1986 Help!!! I'm trying to attach a 5.25" floppy drive to a Toshiba T1100+ laptop PC. It has a floppy drive interface (a DB-25), but I don't know the pinouts to attach the drive with. Anyone out there know the pinouts? Suggestions as to where to get the info will be appreciated (I don't think Toshiba is going to be too helpful, since they sell their own 5.25" FDD for $300+!?!) (Remember I'm a student on a budget!) Thanks in Advance.... PhiL (c9c-bq@buddy.Berkeley.EDU) (ucbvax!buddy!c9c-bq) (no replys after Dec. 13. My account is closed then)
