Google-fu FTW!

This page lists a few pinouts for the drives in the PC-8881 enclosure, 
including a YE-Data drive (the YD180-1603)... the pinout for which is 
suspiciously similar to my NEC drive:

Scroll down about half-way to a post by "Ludolph", or the later post by 
"HAMLIN". Google Translate (JP -> EN) may prove useful... :)

Which via a search for "YD180-1603" leads us to this little gem:
http://www.d1.dion.ne.jp/~ytera/FD_AN-YE.PDF

A Japanese PDF containing pinouts and pin descriptions for:
   * Shugart-style ("ANSI pinout") drives (YD180-1601)
   * YE-Data custom pinout (YD180-1600)
   * "VFO" pinout (YD180-1603)

And what is pin 49 on the YD180-1603 pinout? Why, it's HEAD LOAD of 
course...

I think it's a fair guess the FD1165S uses the "VFO" pinout (which means 
I need to make another adapter.. grr). I'd still like a manual or jumper 
list, though...

Cheers,
