I do have the 'Sextant' article at home, somewhere and can photocopy it. OLD TEXT: Perhaps 'kit' was not the best description of the item I received from RAM Technology. The package consisted of: (1) short adapter cable which replaces the cable running from the 50 pin connector on the Z-207 board to the back panel of the Z-100 (an 'eyeball' map of the pin connections will follow); and one Mitsubishi drive in a single drive powersupply enclosure. So kit does not seem to be a good descriptor, after all. NO INSTRUCTIONS!! The address for RAM Technology is: RAM Technology 427-3 Amherst Street, Suite 265 Nashua, NH 03063 Phone: (800) 662-0070 Hours: 0900-1700 EST Item Description: DRSZ112-1 External 1.2Meg floppy drive system Cost: $249.00 (a bit high, but I was too lazy to make the adapter and hunt for the drive, etc.) Map of the connector (to the best of my ability to determine routing, it is installed in the Z-100 I am now using to compose this) Z-207 Pin Adapter Pin (50 Pins) (34 Pins) 1 1 9 to 10 on same connector (Z-207) 14 32 16 4 18 16 20 8 22 34 26 10 28 12 30 14 32 6 34 18 36 20 38 22 40 24 42 26 44 28 46 30 ALL OTHERS ARE NO CONNECTION I believe I traced these correctly, if in doubt, this information should be available from this info group. I hope I have answered your question satisfactoraly. Cheers, Walt K.
