what do you mean, "peculiar"?  it's do-able.

the 5.25" floppy drives in the TransDrive are exactly the same as any
other DD drive used in other XT/AT machines.  i have one of these
things at home (i'm at work right now), but i can find out what you
need to know...

good question.  fortunately, i have the documentation, too...  :)
i'll see what i can find out.
