Title: HD pins on a X68k ACE?
Post by: RadicalR on July 13, 2014, 02:22:09 PM
I can't find it anywhere! I found the FD pins, but still looking for the HD ones!

Thanks for those, but where do I plug it into the X68k?

If your system is a non HD system then you will have a short ribbon cable between the bottom board and the rear panel board (with the external floppy and HD connectors)  You will replace this cable with the one you fabricate.  It will have three connectors on it instead of two like the cable in your machine now.
