I would be interested. My wiring of the adapters looks like a bird's nest, but not wuite as organized. I did by an fdadap, but I could use some more adapters. What do you do for DS/SS sensing? I ended up using a small toggle switch.
I use Tandon 848 double sided drives with imagedisk. They work very well, you just have to keep the heads clean.

I can't say enough good things about Mr. Dunfield nor ImageDisk. I have made images of Tandy 2000 QD 5.25" disks, Tandy mixed density 8" disks, and PC compatible disks.
What ImageDisk can't handle I save for the catweasel.
