Is it possible to chain two internal floppy drives off of a Mac
motherboard that only has one floppy connector? (i.e. Macintosh SE/30)
I know that there isn't room in the case - I just wanted to know if it
was possible. I saw some pictures of the Techmatics Mac Plus on
Applefritter, and it shows the inside of the repackaged computer. There
are two floppy drives, connected with a single cable, like on a PC
clone. ( http://www.applefritter.com/macclones/techmatics/insidetop.jpg
) From the picture, I can't tell which wires in the cable were swapped,
but you can clearly see that the connector on the righthand drive has
some of the wires switched around. I have dug up the pinouts of the
Macintosh floppy connector, and nothing screams out at me as a drive
select line, but there is probably some sort of signal that has to be
inverted or swapped. Thanks!
