I'm trying actually to use an YD-180-1603 8" floppy drive with a PC computer.
But this drive has a different connector and pinout compared to the more common YD-180-1601 drive or Qume 242 drive.
I'm looking for the manual to clarify a couple things before connecting it, specifically the absence of the Read Data signal.
The pinout is different from the normal IDC 50 Shugart. Grounds are on even pins instead of odd pins, and there are some signals that are not available on the standard shugart :
The IDC 50 connector is not common too, with two keys, same as on the connector on the old MSX computer.
Unit Select 0
Unit Select 1

Here is the pinout, a picture of the drive, and a picture of the manual that i'm looking for.
If someone has this manual, please let me know.
