I just purchased an FD-502 at the new $59 price and want to add the second
drive to it.  When I opened the case, I noticed that RS used strange power
connectors for the drives.  Does anyone know where I can get adaptors for
normal floppy power connectors?  Alternatively, I suppose I could cut off the
connectors and replace them with normal connectors.  Does anyone know how the
new connectors should be wired?  One last question:  there is a second
connector coming from the power supply in addition to the power cable for the
second drive.  Any idea what that is for?  There doesn't seem to be any
corresponding cable connected to the first drive.

Thanks in advance, David Betz
