Greets all...  On to the question...
 
  Recently, my girlfriend and I were looking about in a local Federated
Electronics 'Superstore' during their going-out-of-business-sale and found
an unpriced Tatung 5 1/4 drive that they identified as a Franklin Ace drive.
Fine.  "How much?" I asked.  "How much is it worth to you" he asked.  
"Ten dollars," I answered.  A couple flunkies later and I had my drive for
$10!  :) 

 
Well, it DOES work find with my Franklin, but my girlfriend wants to be able
to use it on her Apple //c...and if we can get it to do that, I want to mod
one of the original two Franklin drives for MY //c.  Can anyone help us out?
 
It looks like all we'd need is a short patch cord between the rectangular
plug on the old drives to 19-pin //c connector (which looks the same as the
one the 10-key gray-cased Apple //e's)... and all I need is the pin-out on the
old rectangular plugs.  Have a reference manual handy?  I've got my //c
manual...  :)
 
       Thanks,
 
         -Jason Asbahr, clattering away...
