4 drive floppy controller
No Bios, marked jumpers
before i start playin with this, any idea what drives it supports? or is it some kind of tape controller?

there are 2 34-pin connectors, but they have pin holes for 6 more pins each, THAT is what puzzles me

Sysgen Bridge File used these adapters to add a floppy controller which was capable with high density diskettes and formatting usually on machines which had not this capability because back then Al Shugart and his team had only just invented it, so it was an upgrade for older double density machines to the new high density, a big thing when floppies were the only real choice which also sidestepped the problem of incompatibility between low density diskettes and high density drives, you just need the enabling software and user manual, hope this helps, Willtho
