Well, I think I messed up, for I am not sure that the adaptor is even for
a hard drive.  It is made to connect to an SA400L, which I am now made
to believe is a standard 5 1/4" 180KB drive.  I didn't even know that Shugart
made floppies, but it appears as if they do.
  Somebody must have unmarked (is that possible?) article #2110, for it
appeared in my unread list of comp.sys.apple, and it is basically where
I got my new information.  In it, Mark_E._Simmons.osbunorth@Xerox.com
gives discriptions of some Shugart floppies, including the SA400.
The adaptor is for the SA400L, but I assume that they are not too different.

My apologies to anybody whose hopes are now shattered, such as mine. 
Oh well, sorry,
Remo
