8" Floppy Drives
The Applesauce (rev 2 and higher) works with most 8“ floppy drives that conform to the Shugart 50 pin interface standard, but requires an 50 pin to 34 pin adapter cable to connect drives to the PC connector in the Applesauce.

QumeTrak 842
| Index sensor: | True |
|---|---|
| # of sides: | 2 |
| Tracks: | 77 |
| Step time: | 3 ms |
| Settle time: | 15 ms |
Notes:
The 842 has two power inputs:
- a 6-pin mate-n-lock which is 5 VDC, 24 VDC, ?-12 VDC?, and a common ground
- a 3-pin molex-like connector with 120/240 VAC, depending on region. (Check the ratings on the spindle motor.)
The 3-pin connector powers the spindle motor which runs all the time. For running with the Applesauce, one can make a power cord that plugs into the wall.
