Re: Found floppy replacement....

2003-09-11 by a_zoghlin

Yes it does!

Now, keep in mind that Mitsubishi decided to shrink the size of the 
26 pin edge connector for the ribbon cable the last few years. The 
good news is it's still pin compatable. I just spliced the ribbon 
cable apart and soldered it to the new smaller ribbon cable.

Major pain in the butt, but I now have a HD 100xg unit.

The other interesting thing is the unit uses a DX50 daughter card - 
the same card I used to have on my old Creative Labs soundblaster 
card back many computers ago... Still sounds good after all these 
years.
