Later cables disconnect the minus-12V supply (that's what is causing you grief here), as well as the PWM motor speed control line (used for the 400K drives). For the gory details on the internal connections, see http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/images/plus_analog.PDF Although that article deals mainly with the Plus, the comments about the floppy drive still apply. --Tom -- Prof. Thomas H.
