The correct kind of drive. They tell me that some drives don't ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Unfortunately, the Chinon isn't (unless there's a jumper I don't know about. Ones which work are later model Matsushita, with plastic as opposed to metal disk carrier and the NEC FD1035, found in the first production run of 1000's (The noisy ones which I'm now glad to have for the nockicking thing:-)). Of course there may be many more. The early Matsushita drives as used in most 1000's and early 500/2000's do NOT work. <<>> douglee@becker > >Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Systems Engineering) "The Crew That Never Rests" > {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: D-DAVE H BIX: hazy > Be careful what you wish for -- you just might get it ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ At least you're the right guy to ask :-)
