I Thanks for you suggestions, the question has been solved.
Trying to rebuild the FDC card for my xerox 820-II motherboard, I have
discovered the presence of an IC named 733w01522 (U1) on the photo of the
original PCB which code I cannot read on the schematic not very readable
reported at the end of xerox820-II service manual. Sorry, I mistakenly
indicated a 14-pin TTL chips even though it was 16 pin.
Thanks for contribution of MIKES from the VCF he told me that the
733w01522 chip is a PROM and it is equivalent at 74S288 but also to others
IC as
reported here
http://www.hobbyroms.com/proms.html by Chuck.
U1 (74S28 and U2 (74S174) together constitute a "finite state machine" (so
they told to me cause I'm not so expert) whose purpose is to provide a read
clock and a read data to the chip WD1797 from raw data received from the
drive.
Then I need to discover the code that the chip could have recorded itself
(without having the original chip programmed with me!).
Upon the recommendation of Chuck Guzis I found the code listing on page 12
of the manual of the FDC1797's application notes. At this point, trusting
to
this code I'd need to buy a programmed 74S288 (or equivalent).
There is another problem : a delay network U16=0447-0400-02

After all those news, I was finally trying to figure out if it sould be
better to
use of the schematic published on an old issue of Microcornucopia:

Who wrote that so far article decided to build itself a FDC controller card
for his
xerox 820-II extracting a block of its schematic from a Kaypro-II's
schematic really making very few changes and using a FDC WD1793 + WD9216
for
external separator data. Casually i have a socketed spare working kaypro-II
motherboard
Due to its small number of components, and having already a WD1797 +
WD921I'd just
and wiring that schematic it would be maybe more simple.
I'm waiting to receive a Vector plugboard 36+36 pin
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...m=200797705856 while I hope to be
able to buy
a day a ready Xerox 820-II FDC board even I know that it's not very easy to
find.
Thanks anyway for all the support that was given to me.
