2019-08-23 23:28:39	rev. 7	CORRECT	The Connector is a 34 Pin Edge Connector. Pinout is 100% correct for TRS-80 & most CP/M Computers. Pin 34 Disk Change/Ready has been updated correctly, and Pin 2 is REDWC* Reduced Write Current. 0=Double Density and 1=High Density. That will update to the newer style Floppy Drives.	APPROVED
