Hi Fred and all
Yes, I meant 34. I've been fiddling with a laptop drive
and it has the 26 pin z connector and that number stuck
out in my head.
Also, 34 was the answer. I put a piece of tape on pin
34 of the 360K drive and all seems well now. It seems
like the 1.44M use that line for detecting the 720k
disk while the 360K used it for disk change. I just
couldn't recall what line was involved.
You MIGHT now have a 360K that does not notice when you change diskettes!
Be careful
IF you get a situation where that drive shows you the previous DIR,
instead of the current one after changing diskettes, don't write
until the OS knows it.
^C (Ctrl +C) will tell DOS that the disk has been changed.
It's documented in CP/M, and undocumented in MS-DOS.
