the floppy drive cable is keyed.

And i can identify the difference between the HD one and the floppy one.

I'm quite sure that the pins I removed are the correct ones.

The drive does not eject all the time, however it reads at an incredible low speed. When i try to boot it just stays there forever slooowly reading the floppy. According to the sun remarketing guide an 800k i/o rom is would solve this problem.

there are only two possible solutions they way I see it:

1. i got the pinouts wrong, therefore by ding them again (i need another cable), it would work. This is less likely.

2. only 400k floppy drives work with a 400k i/o rom. This would mean i wil ned to somehow get one of these drives.
