This is the pinout of the D-SUB 37 floppy disk connector for the SANCO 7000 / IBEX 7000 and MEMORY SYSTEM 7000 computers.
If you are planning to manage the disks from a computer, you can use the 22DISK utility, which allows you to view the contents of CP/M disks, copy the files to the PC, and even create properly formatted disks.
In order to do this, it is necessary to create the disk definition. Our Sanco 7000 has two 8″ YE-DATA floppy drives, model YD-174D.
With the drives connected to our computer, we used these settings to copy the contents of the disks:
