I will do so.

Yep, one of the drives was set to DS2, so I moved it back to DS1 so I 
could test as a primary drive.  I agree the drives would be different 
from 5.25" ones, but I connected them to the same PSU that runs my 
TM848E successfully.  It seems strange that a working PSU that drives a 
TM848E would not supply enough or the right voltage for a TM848-02.
