Help me identify a controller for this ROBOTRON 8 inch floppy drive.

It has his own power supply, works at 220V.

The interface does not have a 34 or 50 pins like Shugart.

The drive itself is likely the K5602. The 26-pin connector was supposed to be transmit the same signals as the Shugart bus. The website with information on it does not show how to adapt it to a normal floppy controller.

https://www.robotrontechnik.de/ on the side menu select Die Technik then select Komponenten/Baugruppe and then Diskettenlaufwerke from the expanded menu. That will get you drive details. There is probably information on the various disk controllers used but I didn't find it quickly.
