Subject: Wanted: Shugart SA860 drive info
I picked up a few SA860 drives as spares a while back; these are
half-height 8" drives, and as such don't have the nice hefty 110 VAC
motors found in canonical full-height drives. Instead, these drives
look much like what PC 5.25" half-heights aspire to be when they
grow up, with a bigger version of the "flat" spindle motor and a
quarter-turn handle to "close" the drive.
I now would like to use these to replace a pair of SA850 full-height
drives. The problem is, these drives have a single power connector
that is different from either of the two on the 850s, and of course
I have no service or installation manual for the 860s :-(.
Does anyone out there have info on what the power connector expects?
Or, perhaps, pointers on where I could get the documentation for the
drives? (Or even tales of terror about the troubles I'm asking for!)
Feel free to mail me; I'll summarize mailed responses.
Thanks in advance!
