I am trying to install a 5.25" floppy in a tandy 1400 lap top.
There is a 37 pin connector on the LT for this purpose. But the
floppy has a 34 pin connector. Has anybody made this connection
before ? And what are the pin to pin connections ?

The connections are pretty standard, the only diffeance is that tandy
supplies the power to the drive throught the control calbe itself.
With tandy's unique internal archecture, I would suggest splurging
and buying the external 5.25" drive dirct from tandy. It could save
you a nice size repair bill if you should accidently miss connect
something.

I suggest you also look at accessories made by and for Citizen Laptops (if available).
