I have an Epson Equity II computer. Currently I have a 360K floppy drive, and
would like to change this to a 1.2M drive.  The users manual states that you
can use either a 360K or 1.2M, but I have not been able to make it work. I
also read over Compuserve that the 1.2M drive needed was a non-standard drive
which is no longer being made.  They said there was a difference in one
control signal.  I am trying to find out what the difference is, so I can
determine whether a drive can easily be hacked to work in this system. 
Thanks in advance for all replies.
