- I just bought a mini-cartridge tape drive which connects through the
- floppy controller. I already have two drives so I needed a special
- cable to hook up the tape drive as a third floppy. Unfortunately, the
- place I got the drive from is out of those cables. I do know someone,
- however, who can make the cable for me if we can find out how's it's
- wired. I know about the required twist between drives 1 and 2, but
- how is it wired between drives 2 and 3 and between drive 3 and the
- controller? Any help is greatly apprecuated.
