Message-ID: <1046@rex.cs.tulane.edu> Date: 15 Aug 89 03:46:31 GMT Reply-To: hoang@rex.UUCP (Dzung Hoang) Distribution: usa Organization: Computer Science Dept., Tulane Univ., New Orleans, LA Lines: 19 I am attempting to upgrade a SF354 disk drive to a double sided drive by replacing the mechanism with an NEC FD1035 drive. I thought that the procedure would be simple until I saw that the connectors on the two drive mechanisms are not the same. The SF354 has a 14-pin single-row connector while the NEC has a 34-pin two-row connector. I have read that this upgrade is a simple matter. Could it be that my SF354 is a different version? Has anyone attempted the same feat successfully. If so, I would appreciate hearing how you did it.
