All of this comes from a very diffuse document faxed to me from Nec
support some 10 years ago. I have not left out any information even
if I do not understand all of it myself.
The coloured wire on a floppy cable shold always be used for pin 1.
On a 5.25-drive connector pin 1 is the side closest to the key-slice.
On a 3.5-drive you can look on the soldering where pin 1 should have
a square soldering point while all the other are round.

These drives are compatible with standard Floppy interface.
Configuration 1: Non-twisted cable
Computer USE MON VC M1 DCG LM0 LM1 DX
XT 2 1 On On 1 0 1 see note
AT 2 1 On On 2 0 1 see note
note: Drive 1 (A:) has DX=0, drive 2 (B:) has DX=1
Configuration 2: Twisted cable (pin 10-16 twisted), Drive 2 and controller
are on one the same side of the twist, and drive 1 is on the other side.
Computer USE MON VC M1 DCG LM0 LM1 DX
XT 2 3 On On 1 0 1 see note
AT 2 3 On On 2 0 1 see note
note: Both drive 1 (A:) and drive 2 (B:) has DX=1
My note: The original document had a very unclear layout and it is
possible that the MON values should be interchanged, so that
configuration 1 is MON=3 and configuration 2 is MON=1 instead.

---------------
These drives are compatible with standard Floppy interface.
Twisted or non-twisted cable can be used. When using a
twisted cable both drive 1 (A:) and drive 2 (B:) should have
the DX jumper in position 1. When using a non-twisted cable
drive 1 (A:) should have DX=0 and drive 2 (B:) shold have DX=1.
A twisted cable has pin 10-16 twisted, drive 2 and controller on
the same side of the twist, and drive 1 is on the other side.
My note: FD5037A, FD5137H and FD5138H might be mounted on an adapter
thing to fit in a 5.25"-slot, and the DX jumper may in that case be
located on the adapter thing and not on the actual 3.5"-drive.

My note: Yes, the tables (1)..(4) really looks like this. I have
checked and double-checked my typing since some of it lookes
a little illogical, at least to me.
