TRS-80 Hard drives (was:Cable needed)

I used to have a Model 1. I believe the logical answer for why Drive 0 was at the beginning of the cable was do that it was the closest to the computer, ant it would make it less confusing for novice computer users: Closest drive gets the boot disk. As for the drive with a resistor pack needing to be at the end of the cable, I disagree. I had a two-disk system, and both drives were identical. I know that, because when I first got the computer, I plugged the drives in, turned them on, turned on the expansion box, and turned on the computer, and they worked. I tried the drives the other way (switched them on the cable), and they still worked. I'm also sure that neither had the resistor pack, because when I got the computer, it was supposed to have 4 drives. There was, however, another Model 1 with an expansion box, but no drives. The person who was selling the computers took drives 3 and 4 off of the one that I got, and put them on the other one. My friend bought it, and the drives worked on it, too. -- -Jason (roblwill(a)usaor.net) ICQ#-1730318 ---------- <classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu>
