Just so we don't have to hear this later, the key word above is
standard.  Shugart, and everybody else made full ht, 1/2 ht, or 3.5" drives
that use the same comnnector, (34 header, or 34 Pin) which were NOT
standard.  They were/are used in PCjr's, apples, macs, and SOME of the
(more) oddball pc clones. (I believe eagle may fall in this group but....).

I know of no way to tell from looking at a particular drive if it is
oddball, serial, or non standard.  The above info DOES however cover probably
over 90% of computer drives currently in use & is veru good & helpful.
