[Coco] PC-to-CoCo floppy drive cable

[Shain Klammer]

Here is a link to the 26-3029 controller schematic
http://www.doki-doki.net/~lamune/computers/coco/hd-floppy/schematic.png
It includes the connector pinouts and is from Mike Pepe's work/instructions
on modifying the controller to use HD floppies.

Hope that is of some help to you...
