[comp.sys.atari.st] upgrading SF354 to double-sided, how???

    I am attempting to upgrade a SF354 disk drive to a double sided drive
by replacing the mechanism with an NEC FD1035 drive.  I thought that the
procedure would be simple until I saw that the connectors on the two
drive mechanisms are not the same.  The SF354 has a 14-pin single-row
connector while the NEC has a 34-pin two-row connector.  I have read that
this upgrade is a simple matter.
    Could it be that my SF354 is a different version?

    Has anyone attempted the same feat successfully.  If so, I would
appreciate hearing how you did it.
