Sounds to me like the interface used by Apple for their drives (the GCR
animals) - see if you can't find out where this came from, 'cause as we
all know, when used with standard MFM controllers (WD 1793 or NEC 765)
there is a (VERY) standard 34 pin connector used: I've got a couple of
Teac 55B's in my system, (double sided version of the 55A) and they use
the standard 34 contact edge connector.
