As Stephan stated, the FD502 is a 360K disk drive.  Check your connectors in
the case to make sure that the pins are not pulled.  If they are you can make
another cable using the standard connectors and 36 wire ribbon.  You will have
to remove two wires from one side of the ribbon.  The controller for the disk
drive as far as I know can only support double density disks, that is 360K or
720K.  I accidently bought a 1.2 Meg disk drive and used it in my
configuration, and found out that it wouldn't work.  Fortunately I found
another person who had a 720K drive, and swapped with him.  The problem, was
that the 1.2 Meg drive has a data transfer rate that is higher than the
controller could handle.  Maybe that problem has been resolved by now, but
check here before you do it.
