I have a Toshiba 3.5 inch floppy drive, left over from an upgrade in a
PS/2 from 720k to 1.44M.  I'd like to install it in an XT that I have
sitting around, but the plugs are wrong.

What I need for the XT is a 34-pin edge connector to go to the floppy
controller card, and a 4-pin power socket for the power supply cable.
The drive has no power supply connection, only a 40-pin edge
connector.  I assume that some of the extra six pins are for power.

Does someone know the pinouts of the drive, and what kind of adaptor
I'll have to solder up to make it work?  I called Toshiba, and they
couldn't tell me.
