Everything seems to be working fine BUT the Floppy drive.  It's a Sony MPF520-1 and has the crappy (poorly re-pinned) floppy cable on it.  What it doesn't have, and not sure if it needs, is the adapter board that goes btween the cable nad the Floppy drive.
 
I've looked around to try to get some info on this butI have to admit, I'm rusty on which sites have what info.
 
I ge tno lights from it, Workbench pops up the "Unrecognizable disk" icon at boot and doesn't disapear with a disk inserted but I do think I hear it spin for a split second when I pop in a disk.  Any clues?
