Hi
It seems like this has been mentioned before but I just don't can't seem to
find it. I put an older 360K drive in with my 1.44M. Things seem OK and I
can use the 360K disk fine but I can't use the 1.44M while the 360K is
connected. If I remove the 26 pin connector, the 1.44 works fine. What
signal is most likely the problem from the old 360K that is stepping on the
1.44M?
I think it's perhaps got something to do with that "disk change" line,
which
was not implemented on a lot of the earlier 360K drives. If they didn't use
it they may have it grounded or something. I also seem to remember some
adapters that were to convert card edge to pins (or the other way around)
that had a jumper for this, and could maybe even dig one up here if you
want...
