I would expect the drive to be compatible except for the cable. Does someone know if this is true? The drive port on the back of the ][c uses a 19-pin D-connector. Is there a company making adapters to connect the old 20-pin ribbon cables to the 19-pin port? Or perhaps replacement cables for the old drives? (A lot of the wires on the cable carry power, so I expect they dropped one of the power lines on the ][c.) If not, does anyone know of a source of 19-pin D-connectors and covers? (Preferably solder-type.) What documentation do I need to look in for the pin outs on the ][c drive port? Thanks for the assistance!
