Come ON people?! This is my third request for help without even a
"sorry, guy" e-mail.  I have a Shugart Associates SA-1004 disk drive and
its SA1400 controller.  I talked to someone in California today who told
me it was an ESDI (?!) interface, which I have a hard time believing. 
The SA1400 glossy brochure says it will control up to four SA devices
from a floppy controller, but of course doesn't say how.  What I am
asking for is:

 (1) pinouts for either or both of the SA1004 and/or SA1400
 (2) Some address where I can send a check for less than what I paid for
the drive to get the information. 
 (3) programming data on the SA1400 controller or an address as above.

I want to either use an ST506 controller with modified cabling on the
hard drive itself or a Z-217 FDC on the SA-1400 controller.  Either
would be satisfactory, but I NEED TO FORMAT THE DRIVE!

Please! Some one out there has a book, an address, or just some
sympathy.
