I recently saw the offer on the Clarkson University Z100 sale and couldn't pass it by. Jeez, they even threw in COBOL with my system. Anyhow, I understand it is possible to connect 1.2M 5 1/4-inch floppy drives to the Z100's 8-inch con- troller. I've seen ads for the necessary cable in REMark, but would prefer to make up my own to save a little money for other goodies. Would anyone be able to provide me with the proper connections to convert the 50 pin header to that required by the 5.25s? (Alas, the one thing that didn't come with the Z100 system was a set of schematics for the sucker.) All help is appreciated! By the way, the 100 sure is a nice little machine. And it neatly fits the gap between my old H8 system and my newer H248. Now, if I can just find something in the lab to connect it to...
