Don't all DSUB type connectors have an odd number of pins, as
opposed to an even number of pins? ;-D

Speaking of Amiga, the 3.5" disk drive 1581 for the 8-bit Commodore
series internally uses an Amiga 500 drive, but it is possible to
modify most PC drives as well. I suppose almost all 3.5" drives
are more or less compatible with eachother, with the possible
exception of Macintosh drives and Unix workstations.
