I am trying to add a 20MB Rodime disk to my AT which already contains a
60MB Micropolis
disk. I do not have documentation on either disk drive and I was
wondering if anyone on the
net has any words of wisdom for me. The problem is as follows : The
Rodime disk works just
fine when connected to the "C" signal connector (when the Micropolis
disk is not connected)
but does not work with the "D" connector. The Micropolis disk works just
fine as the C drive
when connected to the "D" connector but does not work on the C connector
(the Rodime disk
is not connected). Any combination of the disks and connectors (and
configurations !) does not
get these drives to work together. I wanted the Micropolis disk to be
the C drive and the
Rodime disk to be the D drive. I have looked for dip switches and
terminating resistors on 
both the disks but haven't been able to locate them. Does anyone have
any experience in this
area who may be able to help me out ? 

Also, does anyone know if AMI, maker of memory boards and other PC
products, is still in
existence ? I tried their number but they are not in Irvine, CA anymore.
