Hi everyone.
I'm working on restoration project for Compaq LTE elite 4/50. This model happens to feature Citizen W1D, 26 pin floppy drive which is notorious for it's driving belt meltdowns. Unfortunately mine is not an exception. I'm looking to replace CITIZEN W1D drive with TEAC FD-05HG 8798-U, which is a direct drive. I'm looking for technical spec for Citizen W1D that contains connector pinout for that drive so i could compare it to the TEAC's pinout. I did some searches on this and other forums for Citizen W1D and was not able to locate the spec. I've also found a number of pinout references for the Citizen drive, but they seem to have some variation in them, I would like to have more certainty before swapping the FDD.
Thank you,
Ilya
