I found this post:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12163&p=179901&hilit=tototek#p179901Apparently KittyFae managed to connect the FDSStick in a fully working order. But his explanation is a bit puzzling to me:

So I finally figured out how to write to disks using the FDSStick and a Twin Famicom.
1) Make or get the normal FDSStick to Twin Famicom pin connector (the add on option when ordering)
2) Get a proto board and wire up 2 female 12 pin header connectors and wire them both together pin-to-pin
3) On a blank space for the proto board solder in a male 12 pin connector (the one that goes into port D)
4) Connect the ground and power pins from the 12 pin male into the two 12 pin female adapters (Pins 9 and 10 on Port D, pins 2 and 4 on the RAM adapter cable)
5) Plug in the cable from step one into one of the 2 female 12 pin connectors, connect the stock plug you unplugged and plug that into the other connector
6) Turn on the famicom and you are good to go using the FDSStick GUI, and not having to open the console.
His PCB ends up with 3 connectors 2 female and 1 male. Lets call them F1,F2 and M.
F1 and F2 are directly connected. M shares the ground and vcc pins with F1 and F2.
He then connects what I expect to be the FDSStick to F1, and connect the stock jumper cable in F2.
At that point you should have the jumper wire with a male socket of the type that fits in the D port hanging free.
You could plug this cable in the D port which would make sense. But he claims that the M connector is of the type that the D port uses.
In that case... what to do with that extra male socket?

Secondly, I don't understand how he counts his pins for the connections between the Female and Male sockets. When I compare it to the stock jumper cable then it just doesn't make sense.
I tried looking for pinouts but I can't find anything. There is a similar pinout of the drive connector inside the twin famicom but it might have a different layout.

It would make more sense to me if the male connector was of the port C kind. In that case you would have the jumper connect F1 and D port and the FDSStick to F2 making a direct connection between the drive and the stick. And the male connector which would plug directly into Port C would connect the ground and vcc of the internal ram adaptor to the setup.
Again... any help is really appreciated.
