My first attempt to post this inquiry apparently failed.

I am in the process of interfacing a Shugart SA 801 drive to a Cromemco
16FDC controller.  The signal assignment on the 16FDC connector is not
consistent with that of the SA 801; Cromemco apparently adopted a non-
standard pattern.  Wayne Hortensiu supplied me with information about 
jumpers and trace cuts, which I have followed.  I have had some success, 
but have questions about the error messages printed by the ROM monitor 
when I attempt to access the drive.  Attempts to reach Wayne by email 
have failed.  If Wayne (or anyone else familiar with the 16FDC and the
RDOS II monitor) would contact me, I would appreciate it.  Thanks.
