Hi

I'm new here.
I have just got two of floppy drives(IBM FRU 64F4148, Sony MP-F17W-70D). There are no power connections; only 34-pin connector. I would want to test these. How can i make special cable for these, that be connected to common pc?

IBM FRU 64F4148
Sony MP-F17W-70D

[sorry my english, it's not my primary language]
 
For the Sony MP-F17W-70D

+5v is on pins 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11
+12v is on 29, 31, and 33

All other odd pins are ground.

If you want to use these in a standard computer you will have to interrupt the +5v and +12v lines to the floppy connector and instead provide the approprate power.
