[rescue] Anybody remember MFM? (Durango Poppy II problem)

[Michael Free]

The control cable *does* have a twist, conductors 25-29. I'm sitting here

>From the photos, there's only one data connector so it can't be
misconnected.

How are you feeding the controller the drive specs? I'm not familiar with
that particular computer.
