1. Connector cable for LARKEN drives
hatulzabad · Sun, 07 May 2006 13:00
Hello Everyone....
I wanted to transfer all my T/S 2068 programs on LARKEN formatted
diskettes from 5.25 inch floppies to 3.5 inch floppies and have found
that the connector cable given to me by Larry Kenny does not have the
edge connector for a 3.5" drive.
Could I beg the services of someone in the group to make me a cable
for a 5.25" drive and a 3.5" together or give me instructions on how
to create one by myself?
Thank you all,
Zabad (your friendly furry critter)
(Hatulzabad, or more accurately, Chatul-ha-Zabad is Hebrew for "civet
cat". A civet cat (although not really a cat) is a cat-like animal
that is found in the region of India and North Africa. Civets are
prised as excellent ratters and also for a substance they secreat --
also called civet -- that is used for the manufacture of perfum.
A little something for those who wanted to know.)

I have a plug in adapter for 5-1/4 to 3-1/2 drives if you need one,
or if it is a CUSTOM cable - I can modify it for you.

Hello Ralph...
Thank you for responding to my post. Yes, I would like the adaptor.
I have a cable that will accomodate two drives. If I can convert
just one from a 5.25 drive to a 3.5 drive that would be great.
What is your price and what details do you need from me?
