There were also some very uncommon ISA cards for external floppy drives on PCs, also using a 37pin connector. My bet is Apple simply bought those drives from a company that nade them for the PC market and designed their NuBus controller to use them. PC floppy drives use a 34pin connector, so a 37 pin D-Sub would be the closest fit. Hmmm, I wonder if anyone ever tried connecting a 720K drive to one of those NuBus cards> It will be total Fandemonium!
