In the latest Byte (and in other mags) there is an ad on p. 86 about
just the thing you wanted.  It is a small (3 x 2 in. by the picture)
pc board with about 9 resisters, 2 chips (timer chips, I think),
2 transisters, 3 capacitors, 2 diodes, an opto-isolator, and a plug
to go to the disk drive (or the power supply, can't tell) and some wires.
Looks pretty simple to me.  It says that installation time is about
15 minutes, and ``models are now available for virtually all popular
8 inch drives (including a foreign version).''

       Company:

       OPTRONICS TECHNOLOGY
       P.O. Box 81
       Pittsford NY  14534
       (716) 377-0369

It's called the ``Device Control Unit.''   If anyone has bought one
of these, or knows any more about, please let the list know.

Oh yeah, it's got the price here too.

       Assembled and tested -- $49.95
       Kit w/ documentation -- $29.95
