Probably--I think I remember something about Teledisk. But you didn't give your location. Clearly if there's an international border between us, it's going to get complicated. > 2.

I don't know that, but I do have the pinout for the Diskette Adapter/A. But I don't know (and suspect it won't) if Teledisk or even Imagedisk will work with the DAA. > I thought about connecting two out of the 3 cables from this drive to > an IBM displaywriter (supplying the correct voltages etc) and the 37 > pin connector to my external 5.25 adapter/a card? Too bad it's a PS/2 system--a legacy whitebox PC system would be easier to work with. PS/2 floppy drives are generally strange. --Chuck
