BTW, if that FD-55 is 1.2 MB, it won't work (different spindle speed).
I don't have the specs or time right now or I'd look the FD-55 up.

1.4 MB 3.5" floppy drives work great however. All you need is to crimp
the proper connector on the cable or get an adapter that gives the 3.5"
drive an edge connector, and a power adapter. I can get these items
cheap if anyone is interested, or make custom floppy cables.

peace,
Bob
