The beige faceplate on 360K is yellower than on 1.2M
:-) Only because the 360K drive is likely to be older...
360K has jumpers for drive 0,1,2,3; 1.2M has jumpers for A,B
Nonsense!. I've seen plenty of 1.2M drives with 4 drive select jumpers...
360K has a screen that is usually white on black; 1.2M has a screen that
is white on blue. (If it bluescreens, then the drive is a 1.2M)
If my PERQ ever bluescreens I'll eat a PDP11 (I have a 5.25" 1.2Mbyte
drive hooked up to the PERQ as a little hack. The PERQ, of course, has a
white monochrome monitor).
That's quite apart from the fact that PC/AT machines (the most common
place to find 1.2M drives) most certainly support MDA and CGA cards...
