While I continue to wait for necessary parts and cables to arrive in the mail, here's a follow-up question:
Inside my Tandy, I already have a punched-out floppy cable. It just has card-edge connectors on it for two 5-1/4 drives. Would there be anything wrong with simply re-crimping this cable, adding 34-pin socket connectors for a couple of 3-1/2 drives?
As it is now, the cable goes:
[Socket connector for floppy controller]=====[holes]=======[5.25 connector]==============[5.25 connector]
Could I simply cut off the second connector and slide some IDC crimp sockets on, making it the cable:
[Socket connector]======[holes]==========[5.25 connector]==[3.5 connector]==========[3.5 connector]
