[comp.sys.amiga] Two questions on trying to hook up my own external drive.

Background:  I am currently trying to hook up a Teac FD-35FN-04
             3.5" floppy drive to the external disk port on my
             A500.  

(1) Where in the blazes does one obtain a 23-pin D-connector? 

(2) I have been able to map most of the pin-outs to inputs on the
    drive, however, I haven't been able to figure out what to do
    with the /DRESB signal (pin 10 on the A500 connector).  What
    is the disk reset signal used for?

If this drive cannot be used in this manner, could someone please
let me know so I don't end up tearing all my hair out trying to
figure out what went wrong.  Thanks.
