Vitus,

I have seen many of the 2.88 floppy drives at work in disposal.  All the ones 
I looked at did not have the power plug as you stated, and I azzumed that was 
the way they all come.

Do you (or anyone) know if there is an adapter for these drives to use them in 
normal systems??

If I could get a pin out of the single connector, maybe one could be 
fabricated with a break out type box??

TIA
Rich
