am curious why the addition of a proper multiheaded cable doesnt
fix this?
they actually dont drive the drive select in the cable?
More and more machines are showing up without physical support (ie:
a select) for drive B: ... I have two Intel P3 board which do not
drive the B: select (which is very annoying since these are two of
the best systems for handling oddball formats with Imagedisk).
Floppy drives are disappearing completely from some new machines,
and I doubt it will be long before the controller disappears along
with them (if it hasn't started already).
That I suspect will still be built into the support chips since it will
be too much trouble
to remove it. Floppies are now a extra option -- I had to have new
computer built with one.
Everybody is going to R/W DVD's now..

PS, R/W DVD's don't seem reliable for storage to me -- look how hard it
is for CD's to write well.
