Still looking for the pinout of the disk drive DIN6 plug. Please help.

Here is the label of the PSU:

Thank you for advice. Maybe I can try one of these adaptors and replace the mini-DIN with a standard DIN connector.
I need the pin layout configuration of the 6-pin DIN connector (the one on the original PSU or on the MIcro Peripherals QLFDC device plug). Anyone?

Thanks.

Just a shot in the dark, but what if I buy one of these modern PSUs and replace the DIN6 plug at the end? http://www.ebay.ch/itm/Cargador-Corriente-12V-5V-2A-6-PIN-DIN-PINES-Disco-Duro-External-Hard-Drive-PSU-/252221964589?hash=item3ab999c12d:g:QCcAAOSw5dNWkjgQ Voltages of +12V and +5V (2A) are prov...

I recently got a couple of QL machines with FDD interface and one of my goals is to go back programming in Pascal or C.
Currently I'm struggling to create floppies from the zip files of software I've found online.

Thank you, Mark. I'm almost useless with a soldering iron in my hands, still I guess I'm going to open up the drive box and see the actual type of plug to the disk drive. But it would be too difficult for me to build up an AC adaptor, even starting from a standard 12V PSU as you suggest. If I happen...

Seems like a replacement PSU should convey 15V and 9V to some pins of the DIN6 plug, according to this picture I've found:



Will keep on looking...

Hi all. Old thread, but instead of opening a new one, I try to write here. I have recently acquired the Micro Peripherals interface and a single floppy disk drive.

Grüezi und danke viel mal!

Yeah, it's so rare to find a Swiss QLer that you're the first one I've ever met!
Going to visit your website soon. Thanks.

Thank you vanpeebles for your welcome message and for your advice on choosing a good interface and RAM expansion to my QL. The trump cards are very interesting, I'll keep an eye on those interfaces. I've been told that the QL-SD card reader needs a good touch to be installed (open the QL, replace th...

I'm interested in one unit, if still available. I'm currently looking for a drive interface for my "new" QL.
Going to read the docs about the QubIDE now. I'm a newly registered user here so I guess I cannot send PM yet. Thanks.
