Hi all
Sorry for the multiple posting, no idea how that happened!
Thanks to Keith for sending me a piccy, very enlightening when i compare my version to it.
There is one crucial part/piece missing from Keiths, and that is there is no way to plug into the external drive port of the Atari.
This is needed to work properly as the data is taken from the floppy port and written by the external drive, the parrallel part controls the control codes sent to the external drive.
So the 5-pin will be a lead that connects to to the 14-pin din of the Atari.
I made a blitz lead myself many moons ago, before Power Computing decided to do it. And you dont use that many wires for the writing process as the parralel part takes control of the external drive.
