I have a third floppy disk drive to attach to my Kaypro II/'83 .
This Kaypro has been upgraded to a Kaypro 4 with the Micro Cornucopia 
Pro-8+ ROM and presently running two TEAC 55F 96-tpi floppies.
I need either:

A source for the Plus-4 Drive Decoder

or:

Micro Cornucopia Magazine Issue #17 page 18 and following which has
an article on making this drive Decoder circuit.
I know these details because I have #18 which has a correction 
to #17 (wouldn't you know I don't have the ONE I need)
If you have this magazine and could copy the pages I need 
and send them to:

Luke Weerts 
Interactive Systems Corp.
1901 N. Naper Blvd.
Naperville, IL. 60563

I would be indebted.

or: 

A decoder that would fulfill the same function.




Would it be worth my while to also get the TurboROM?  Specifically
can it support up to 4 floppies and does it have a 96-tpi format
which is presently used by my Pro-8+ ROM.

I understand one of the TurboROM's features is supporting a number
of foreigh disk formats.  Is the Televideo 801/806 one of them?


Thanks

Luke
