I recently purchased a Toshiba 3.5" DSDD drive mechanism. I wish to replace
the Chinon mechanism (SSDD) in my SF354 with this. The Toshiba is thinner
than the Chinon. The back has a 34-pin connector (if I counted right) as
well as a smaller connector. the board in the SF354 box has a ribbon cable
connected to the Chinon via what looks like a `crimp connector' if that is
a useful term. Likewise the smaller connector. How shall I do this?
What is the right wire to pin connection? How shall I do this connection?
Solder iron? (if so what wattage?, what type of solder, what type of heat
sink if needed?) I want to use the full double-sided capability of the
Toshiba, and I want it to recognize media changes.
Can anyone help me?
I seem to remember seeing posts on this in the past.
Any help is _much_ appreciated. I have no docs on the
drive. The front is black, but doesn't look any different than the ones
with the Mac plus colored front panels.
Sincere thanks
