I picked up an Epson disk drive for a 720K 3.5" floppy and would like to 
use it in a home project. I have no specs. I don't know what the drive
came 
out of. The drive has a connector with 34 pins in two rows. Does anyone 
know how to interface to this or any other drive with such a connector? I 
don't have much to lose by trying the wrong interface. I will risk the 
drive on the wrong pin-outs because it is of no use to me now. Does
anyone 
know where to look? I tried Epson, but they were no help. The drive is no 
longer in production. Any help is appreciated.
