came with the Trackstar. Basically, what you're doing is connecting the PC

controller to the disk drive via the adaptor board.

The adaptor board has molex and edge connectors to allow some flexibility

regarding the connectors used on the PC controller and/or disk drive. It also has

a small ribbon cable which goes to the Trackstar.

The big ribbon cable seems to be a moderately standard edge

connector-to-molex connector cable for connecting a PC disk drive to a controller

card. The adaptor board is the 'mystery part'. My guess is that the lines going

to the Trackstar are for switching in just data R/W lines (plus, maybe, the Write

Protect line) and that the PC controller card is used to handle head movement and

drive on/off.

You may feel like figuring out how to make the adaptor board; but, it

probably isn't worth the bother. Even if your PC 5.25" drive is old enough to be

one which is Trackstar-compatible, a PC drive is not supposed to be able to

handle many copy-protected diskettes.

It's much easier to just plug an Apple Disk ][ drive into the Trackstar.

That will take care of real Apple II diskettes. Plus you can have virtual drives

(using "Trackstore" files) and a virtual hard disk.
