The Lisa Lite Card is the little card in the disk cage ? The drive is connected to a little card, wich is itself connected to the mainboard.

You say I really can use any 1.44 drive ? To 'pull PIN 9 and PIN 20' do I need to cut the ribon ? Remove the PIN from the disk ? Assuming that the red wire is '0', on the drive, where are PIN 9 and 20 ?

I have plenty of 800k drive, but no 400k drive...
