Talk:Floppy disk drive interface

Merge Article
The term "Shugart bus" appears to be an invention in Wikipedia since most of the Google search hits appear circular and there are no hits in Google News nor patents. The term is also a part of any Shugart drive interface and the discussion here is limited to two specific Shugart floppy disk drives models that became industry standard FD interfaces. Accordingly I propose merging this into the Floppy disk controller article along with linkages added to the 8-in & 5¼-in Section of the FD article. Tom94022 (talk) 19:53, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Support. --Wtshymanski (talk) 20:34, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep separate. Back in the day, the term was quite commonly used referring to the 8" and 5.25" diskette drive interfaces. While Shugart bus is a stub only at present, there is enough to tell about the topic that it could (and should) become a full-blown article in the future. Merging the topics makes it more difficult to incrementally grow the contents. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 04:25, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep separate for now. has added a couple of (low quality but noncircular) refs that seem to address 's concerns. ~Kvng (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Errors?
Are all of these pinouts correct? Some of these pinouts conflict with actual hardware and actual data sheets. Jgharston (talk) 21:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * it would help if you named the pins in conflict and provided links to the data sheets that support the alleged conflict. Tom94022 (talk) 23:38, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Request further explain on why pins 12 and 16 are rarely used today
As far as this question is concerned. Hzt0208042508415531 tw (talk) 23:23, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
