WooHoo!! The drive is running nicely and dumping it's guts to a tape
drive. The change over was a simple remove 4 star head screws and pull
off the ribbon cable that runs the spindle. The data connections are a
spring loaded set of contacts fingers that mate with bump points on the
bottom of the circuit board like a surface mount chip held by a
retainer.
